Each year, the Whiting School of Engineering gathers together to honor staff members who have demonstrate outstanding achievement or innovation and contribute to their departmental/center/institute, WSE, or JHU, beyond the scope of their position. This year, twenty-six staff members were nominated for one of two awards – the Rookie of the Year Award or a Staff Excellence Award.

Four of these nominees received awards, including Jessica Ader, Modern Media Coordinator for the Civil Engineering Department! Jessica received a Staff Excellence Award as distinguished recognition of her hard work, devotion, and commitment to excellence.

This is the second year in a row that a staff member from the Civil Engineering Department has received an award. Last year, Shamija Jackson (Administrative Coordinator) won the Rookie of the Year Award.
