Bustamante (Williamston) and Gingrich (Potsdam, New York) are both juniors and were honored with the Russel J. Kraay Award, a financial award funded by Dr. Russell J. Kraay and given to sophomore or junior students who, in the judgment of the computer science faculty, have demonstrated excellence in the field of computer science.
In addition to the Computer Science awards, our students were well represented across campus as well. Nathan Vance, a senior Computer Science & Chemistry double major from Holland, was the recipient of the George and Joan Zuidema Award, given annually to a graduating senior from the Natural and Applied Sciences division who has demonstrated excellence in undertaking and completing substantial research. This award carries a cash prize of $1000.
