The following awards are typically presented at the annual Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Student Spring Banquet but due to our unusual circustances this year, we weren't able to celebrate with everyone in-person. We hope to be able to do that sometime in the future. In the meantime, please join me in congratulating this year's awardees!
