2024 Recipients

Connor Povoledo
Engineer and entrepreneur — two words that describe fifth year biomedical engineering student Connor Povoledo. Somewhere in between those two designations, however, is the story of a community-builder and sustainability advocate who has used his skills and vision to make the world a better place.

Melissa Bennett
Melissa takes citizenship as a call to action, and their commitment to creating inclusive spaces in engineering has been transformative.

Muhammed S.
Muhammed S. sees challenges as opportunities to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him. His passion for finding solutions to real-world problems is both emblematic of his character, but also a response to the adversities he has faced.

Nathan Chong
Like many students, Nathan Chong found his first year to be challenging, particularly as the pandemic limited opportunities to learn and socialize with this peer group. He also found that his classes did not align with his career goals in the way that he had hoped.

Sophia Young
The most significant impact of good citizenship, says Sophia Young, an environmental engineering student in the second year of her program, is empowering youth to become active citizens in their own right, equipped with the tools they will need to achieve their goals and reach their dreams.
