Subject: CCE request for names by Friday June 5th : 2026-2027 Engineering Fellows Nominations Now Open

 

Teresa or Ayman-  Can you please foward to the faculty and staff CCE lists?

 

Last year, an LSCCE student (Amareah Bead) was nominated and selected as a Purdue Engineering Fellow, the College of Engineering's highest undergraduate distinction, resulting in $25,000 for the graduating student, and some well-deserved positive publicity for our school as well.

 

We'd like to make sure our upcoming LSCCE seniors also have a chance to win this award, and we have now entered nominating season. All completed nomination packets are due by June 30.

 

Do you have a student in mind as a great candidate for this award? If so, our advising team is happy to support that process! At this point, we only need student names so we can begin the process of narrowing down candidates and gathering appropriate supporting documents for that nomination. NOTE - To be eligible, the student must be set to graduate Spring 2027.

 

Please send to Laura (llathrop@purdue.edu ) before this Friday, 6/5, with the name(s) of any upcoming senior student(s) you feel should be considered. We do not need further information at this time.

 

A great student nominee must exemplify:

1.      Creative thinking

2.     Problem-solving

3.     Respect of peers

 

Process Information

Our school hopes to nominate no more than 3 candidates in order to maximize the chances that an LSCCE candidate is chosen.

 

If your student's nomination moves forward, the advising team will reach out again to ask you to provide:

 

1.      Your contact info

2.     Two-page (max) nominator letter noting:

a.     How the nominee stands out among other high-achieving peers - use a strong narrative that can be ideally supported with documents (ex. impactful research done by student, media article, etc.)

b.     Direct, specific, concrete examples of how the student exemplifies each of the 3 criteria (creative thinking, problem-solving, peer respect)

 

We can compile the remaining items and submit the nomination on your behalf when it is ready, if we are able to gather everything before the deadline. 

 

Regards,
