Weeks, Lin win outstanding awards at college ceremony

Students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering won awards at the College of Engineering's fall 2024 outstanding student luncheon. Faculty from all departments nominated 11 undergraduate seniors, six graduate seniors and six teaching assistants for awards that recognized their efforts to go above and beyond in their studies and research. 

Each student who was honored received a framed award and a university gift bag to commemorate their academic career. Nominating professors made short speeches.

“Many of you will move into careers and find technical success, but I bet many of you will also move up to become leaders, managers, CEOs and presidents. And that is what engineering is all about – teaching you to think, analyze and solve problems,” David W. Hahn, the Craig M. Berge Dean of the college, told the students. 

ECE's Jack Weeks was honored as the department's outstanding senior and Yu-Zheng Lin was recognized as an outstanding teaching assistant.
