Symposium Winners

The TAMUG student symposium attracted 62 poster presentations. Largest number yet. Below is a list of award winners in the various poster categories as well as students awarded various TIO, RAC and other scholarships. Of note, Josh Williams was awarded the Erma Lee and Luke Mooney Doctoral Research Award. We don’t give these out every year, only when we get worthy nominations.

In addition,

(1) We had 6 students from TAMU Qatar participate in the symposium along with the other engineering students. This appeared to be a great success for all.

(2) We have the folks from the UGRS program – Duncan McKenzie and Tammis – participate in the symposium by judging (Duncan) and by giving two talks on the program for interested students.
