Family, friends, faculty and staff celebrated our 2019 Biostatistics graduates on June 16 at two events: the UW School of Public Health Commencement and a department ceremony in the afternoon.
Student excellence recognized
At the department ceremony, doctoral student Kelsey Grinde accepted the Thomas R. Fleming Excellence in Biostatistics Award and Marlena Bannick received the 2019 Senior Student Award for the MS program. These awards recognize a student in each program who best demonstrates high achievement in coursework and exam performance, quality of thesis and publications, written and oral communication, and leadership.
Brian Williamson (PhD) was presented with the Exceptional Service in Biostatistics Award, an honor given to a graduating student for significant service to the Department, the School, and the wider biostatistics community.
Phuong Vu (PhD) and Alexander Paynter (MS) who were honored earlier this spring at the 2019 UW School of Public Health Outstanding Student Awards in Biostatistics were also recognized again during the ceremony. The SPH Awards recognize exemplary students for their academic and research excellence, community service and commitment to the field of public health.
Congratulations to all of our 2019 graduates and award recipients for their dedication and achievement.
