Annual Tau Beta Pi Award Ceremony Recognizes UW Students and Faculty

The Wyoming Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society, has released its award recipients for 2018. The awards were presented at the annual TBP Awards Banquet on April 13 at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center.

Tau Beta Pi is the only engineering honor society representing the entire engineering profession. It is the nation's second-oldest honor society, founded at Lehigh University in 1885 to recognize students of distinguished scholarship and exemplary character.
