Central Jersey AIChE Award Winners

The Central Jersey section of the AIChE annually sponsors three student awards to Chemical Engineering Students at Princeton University.

The Outstanding Senior Award goes to the graduating senior with the highest academic standing. The winner in 2001 was Michael Peija. Michael had an overall GPA of 4.16 and was previously the recipient of the Outstanding Junior Award from the Central Jersey section of the AIChE, and the recipient of the Donald Othmer Award for Outstanding Sophomore from the AIChE. Michael also received the James Hayes-Edgar Palmer Prize from the School of Engineering and Applied Science for excellence in scholarship, leadership and creative achievement. The Ernest Johnson Award is the graduating senior elected by his or her classmates that exemplifies outstanding character and service. This year the Ernest Johnson award went to Jessica Jarvis. Jessica served as vice president of the Student Chapter of the AIChE. In that capacity she was instrumental in introducing a new program of inviting companies to sponsor dinners for graduating seniors to discuss career opportunities. Jessica also led the effort to bring forth an on-line resume book for the graduating seniors.
