These awards recognize significant early-career research contributions and impact by faculty members and rising scholars across several academic fields. Vice Chancellor of Research & Innovation Massimo Ruzzene and Vice Chancellor and Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs Michele Moses will speak to awardees' accomplishments, positive mentorship, and free bowling and billiards will be available along with an open snack bar.
The event is also an excellent opportunity for faculty contemplating early career awards to network and connect with successful investigators!
