The Outstanding Graduate Student Awards are presented to one MS and one Ph.D. student that has academic excellence and also provides service to their fellow graduate students and the Department.  The recognition is in the form of a permanent plaque engraved with the name of the recipient and a small monetary award. Previously, this award was called the Kunkle Award after L.E. Kunkle.
