Senior Thesis Activities

The 2007 Senior Awards and Recognition Banquet was held on May 4, 2007, at the Nittany Lion Inn. We were very pleased to present nearly $100,000 in scholarships and awards to outstanding 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 47 industry professionals met during the afternoon to judge the top eight fifth-year thesis presentations.
