18 undergraduates were honored for their excellence in STEM teaching, tutoring, and outreach at a banquet April 30. Six of the students — seniors Marissa Cardillo, Andrew Robbins, Samantha Tierney, and Shanna Johnson, and juniors William Feldhusen and Benjamin Pilcher — took home $500 each for standing out in this distinguished group.
