The 17th Annual Best of Tech Awards was held on April 25, 2014, at the East Greenwich campus. Each year, the college’s Office of Teaching and Learning recognizes outstanding students from each New England Tech technology program for their academic and personal achievements. During the Winter quarter, department chairs nominate students that meet the established criteria.
These requirements include eligibility to graduate in May, 2014, outstanding academic achievement, extracurricular activities, volunteering within the community, overcoming obstacles, and the ability to serve as a positive role model.
The Best of Tech award offers recipients the opportunity to highlight this achievement on their resumes, giving them an advantage as they seek employment in their chosen fields.
In addition, Best of Tech award recipients may also apply for one of five of the prestigious Tech Scholar Awards. Tech Scholars are selected by a panel of ÐÔÊӽ紫ý administrative staff and faculty who evaluate each of the candidate’s applications.
Congratulations to all.
