Students were nominated by a member of the College of Engineering community and further chosen by the student/faculty committee in honor of their outstanding dedication to the college.

Decisions were based on criteria such as involvement in service functions, student organizations, along with the general service to the University and College of Engineering.

“Our award recipients each had significant involvement in our engineering community by volunteering time and energy into various service activities,” said Amanda Idema, assistant dean of undergraduate studies. “Their exceptional service to the department, college, or university reflects very positively upon the college and speaks highly of their accomplishments as MSU students,” she added.
