Outstanding Senior Awards

Each year, the School of Science faculty select an outstanding graduating senior to receive an award in recognition of their overall achievement during their undergraduate career. While each award has its own specific selection criteria, students are generally chosen based upon academic performance, involvement in College and community service, and participation in research. Most of these awards are sponsored by the community, whereas the Mary Lou Gantert Award was established to memorialize a former Science student.
