The 3rd Annual Student Awards Ceremony and Picnic was held on Tuesday, April 5, 2007. A little cold for a spring day, but nonetheless, all enjoyed the event as we celebrated the accomplishments and academic achievements of our outstanding student body. Undergraduate scholarship awards, special undergraduate awards, graduate fellowships and awards were presented, along with The Advanced Publication Award, Research Initiation Award, and Outstanding Thesis Award. Also special congratulations went out to our 2007 Spring Graduates. VISIT PHOTO GALLERY. MSE Undergraduate Scholarship Awards
