Senior Thesis Activities

The 2004 Senior Awards and Recognition Banquet was held on April 30, 2004 at the Nittany Lion Inn. We were very pleased to present over $120,000 in scholarships and awards to deserving AE undergraduate students. We are extremely grateful for the phenomenal generosity of our many alumni and friends who so faithfully support the AE Scholarship and Awards Program each year. A panel of forty industry professionals met during the afternoon to judge the top eight fifth-year thesis presentations.
