Sustainable Systems Management Professor, Omar Espinoza, is the recipient of the 2024 Award for Excellence in Academic Unit Service for outstanding contributions to his academic unit. This award recognizes exceptional service that has strengthened the functioning and climate of the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering. This is the second year of the award, which is a collaborative initiative of the Provost's Office and the Faculty Consultative Committee.
The Award for Excellence in Academic Unit Service recognizes ongoing institutional service at the local level. One award is available for a member of the faculty (tenure system, term/contract/clinical, instructional or research academic professional) in each department or unit, systemwide; these nominations are made by the chairs or heads of departments and other units.
