College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) 2023 seniors will be recognized for their outstanding achievements at the University of South Carolina Awards Day on Thursday, April 20. Students from all programs were eligible and 18 students were recognized.

Dean’s Award for Outstanding Leadership

Nominated by faculty or staff, the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Leadership recognizes a graduating senior for significant contributions to the CEC. The award recipient has provided outstanding leadership to a CEC student organization and has positively impacted the college’s brand through service as a CEC ambassador. Biomedical Engineering senior Lauren Speck is the 2023 recipient.

“It's awesome to be recognized, especially because I feel that I've contributed a lot to the CEC. We have about 3,000 undergrads, and I’ve been able to have a large impact over the last four years. I'm glad I was able to give back, and it’s exciting to be recognized,” Speck says. 

College of Engineering and Computing Outstanding Senior Awards

The CEC gives the awards to graduating seniors in each degree program. Recipients are faculty recommended and selected based on demonstrated academic excellence, undergraduate research participation, and active involvement in the college and university community.
