John M. and Marilyn Zeigler Acheivement Award

This award honors the past contributions of Dr. John Zeigler, the first SMS Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, and the continuing contributions of Mrs. Zeigler to student needs. The award represents an opportunity to formally recognize our students and the genuine contribution they make to the Institute through their participation in our academic and research program.

Eligible students are those who are presently enrolled in SMS. The award will be based on scholarship, leadership. research initiative, outstanding publications, and/or exceptional thesis or dissertation work. Outside recognition by such organizations as the National Science Foundation, National Research Council and professional societies will also be considered.
