Five faculty members from the Texas A&M University College of Engineering were selected to receive a 2022 Distinguished Achievement Award from Texas A&M and The Association of Former Students. They were among a group of 24 outstanding Texas A&M faculty and staff members who were honored.
First presented in 1955, the university-level Distinguished Achievement Awards have been awarded to more than 1,000 professionals who have exhibited the highest standards of excellence at Texas A&M.
Each year, The Association of Former Students generously makes funds available to provide faculty and staff at Texas A&M with a number of awards recognizing achievement in teaching, research, individual student relationships, continuing education/extension, graduate mentoring, staff and administration. Receipt of an Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award is one of the highest university honors that can be bestowed upon a faculty or staff member.
The 2022 Distinguished Achievement Awards will be formally presented on April 25 during ceremonies in Rudder Theatre.
