The Graduate Division and a faculty selection committee reviewed nominations and chose two 2023 Outstanding Postdoctoral Scholars. They were recognized and received engraved Annieglass platters at the 2023 Postdoc Symposium on June 6 at the Seymour Marine Center. Additionally, they each received a $1,500 award for professional development. Congratulations to these scholars, and to all of our nominees!
