Departmental Honors and Awards

The Chemistry Department and the BMB Program traditionally present a number of awards to students who demonstrate commitment and excellence in academics and in their interactions with faculty and fellow students. For many years, Chemistry and BMB faculty presented awards to Teaching Assistants who excelled in this role.  In 2022, we created an additional award to honor the best of our Peer Learning Assistants. Our honorees in 2021 and 2022 are as follows:
