Congratulations to the two outstanding engineering students who won the Presidential Service Award:
Akua Oppong-Anane, a PhD candidate in the department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, volunteered over 60 hours of her time to help library patrons strengthen their computer skills and literacy. As a science fair judge at a local middle school, she also mentored students on their research processes and methodologies.
