Rob Wolf Outstanding Senior Award
Each year this award is presented to a senior mechanical engineering student in memory of Rob Wolf, a 1997 graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It was created to recognize students who excel academically while taking an active role in department, college, university or community organizations. The award is sponsored annually by the Wolf family.
In order to be considered for the award, students must have a 3.0 minimum cumulative point-hour ratio and meet at least two of the following criteria: be active in a professional or honorary society; have demonstrated leadership in a campus activity or done community service; have participated in campus-wide activities; and have worked during academic year to defray costs.
Each year a committee is formed to select two finalists and one awardee.
