Presentation of the Farrell Award
The Farrell Award was established in 1975 in memory of Rev. William F. Farrell, O.S.A. in order to recognize an engineering faculty member who has demonstrated personal concern for students and exceptional dedication to the College. To be eligible for this award a professor must be a full-time member of the faculty of the College of Engineering. The recipient of this award is chosen by a vote of the undergraduate students in the College of Engineering and is awarded at the Recognition Ceremony.
