Each year, the Mechanical Engineering Student Leadership Awards celebrate students in our undergraduate and graduate programs who go above and beyond to enhance the student experience for their peers outside of the classroom. These awards recognize the important contributions leaders in our extracurricular groups make in fostering a mechanical engineering community that expands our students’ abilities, connections, and university experiences.
