Congratulations to the more than 70 Milwaukee School of Engineering students who were nominated for leadership awards this year. The following awards were presented at the annual President’s Student Leadership Awards Night on May 4:

Outstanding Student Award

Jonathan Braaten, of Glasgow, Montana, was chosen as the 2016 recipient of the Fred F. Loock Outstanding Student Award. This award is presented annually to the MSOE senior student, who, in the opinion of the faculty, most notably combines an excellent academic record and has at the same time demonstrated leadership and professional bearing in extracurricular or community service activities. It is the most prestigious student testimonial that MSOE bestows. Braaten will graduate May 28 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from MSOE.
