We recognize outstanding individuals and their accomplishments. Many students deliver excellent results in the field of their study or beyond. Faculty excel. Staff go above and beyond. The physics department is proud of these individuals and to reward them, we have instituted a number of awards. We also recognize our students and alum at the university and college level.
