We congratulate all graduate students in our program who earned degrees and awards over the course of the past academic year. Including Autumn 2020, Spring 2021, and Summer 2021, these include 20 doctoral degrees, 7 master's degrees in our MMS program, 13 master of science degrees, and 8 master's degrees in our MAQRM program. We are also excited to recognize 3 students who won prestigious OSU Graduate School awards.

Since our Graduate Studies Committee was not prepared to conduct a selection for departmental teaching awards in Spring 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, both competitions were carried out during Spring 2021. We thus have a total of 6 winners for the 2020 and 2021 Phil Huneke Teaching Awards and 7 recipients of the 2020 and 2021 First-Year GTA Awards.
