Chemical Engineering Names Spring 2020-21 Noel E. Moore Achievement Award Recipients
The Department of Chemical Engineering recognizes the good attitudes that these students show toward learning and congratulates Christian Schneider, Madison Wendelin, and Keegan Parkhurst for being great role models.
The Department of Chemical Engineering has announced the winners of the Noel E. Moore Achievement Award for spring quarter 2020-21.
The winners are sophomore Christian Schneider, junior Madison R. Wendelin, and senior Keegan R. Parkhurst.
Each quarter, the department recognizes academic excellence on the part of our students. The awards are named in memory of Professor Noel E. Moore, an outstanding educator and faculty leader on campus for 30 years. Moore served for a decade as head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, was an early leader of Operation Catapult, and was a key advocate for making the institute co-educational. He was named an emeritus faculty member after his retirement in 1998. He passed away in 2018.
