College of Engineering
Engineering staff and student recognized with awards at Celebration of Excellence
Tennessee Tech honored several students, faculty and staff at the university’s annual Celebration of Excellence on May 2. The event paid tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated hard work and dedication to always putting students first this past year.
Several award recipients were from the College of Engineering.
Mary Daniels, an Academic Advisor in the College of Engineering, was presented with the Excellence in Advising Award. In her nomination, one supporter said, “She is always available and gives the best advice. No matter the problem, I know I can always call Mary to work through the possibilities. She has helped me accomplish so many things. Without Mary as my advisor, my college path would have been filled with significantly more bumps.”
Daniels was also among three engineering recipients of the Wings of Kindness Award. Established in 2019 by Tech First Lady Kari Oldham, the Wings of Kindness initiative recognizes the university’s values, work ethic and culture of kindness.
Becky Asher, an administrative associate in the chemical engineering department, and Steven Lam, a chemical engineering graduate student, also received Wings of Kindness Awards.
