HONORS AND PRIZES


  *   Graduate student Trevor Gerstner was named the 2021 Outstanding Engineering Student by the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers. An advisee of Halil Sezen, Trevor is pursuing a master's degree in civil engineering with an emphasis on structural engineering. He recently served as a Bridge Design Intern for Patrick Engineering.


  *   Kay Sung won an Outstanding Oral Presentation Award at the Fifth Conference on Atmospheric Biogeosciences, hosted by the American Meteorological Society. These awards recognize "outstanding student contributions". Kay's research separates seasonal signals from 20th century drought trends and confirms drought increases in the western US and broadly wetter conditions across the upper Midwest. Kay is a post-candidacy PhD student and part of Jim Stagge's Hydrologic Extremes lab.



  *   Director of Development Courtney Ross was named the Inclusive Excellence Award winner during this year's presentation of the College of Engineering's Above and Beyond Awards.
