Three to Receive KU Engineering Distinguished Engineering Service Award
Two alumni and a longtime engineering faculty member from the University of Kansas School of Engineering will be honored with the school’s highest award in a ceremony set for 6 p.m. May 4.
Sam Gilliland, Greg Grimm and Tom Mulinazzi will receive the Distinguished Engineering Service Award (DESA). The award goes to individuals who have maintained close association with the school and have made outstanding contributions to the engineering profession and to society.
“Each of this year’s winners exemplify the spirit of this award and exhibit qualities that are hallmarks of a KU School Engineering graduate — leadership, ingenuity and service,” said Arvin Agah, dean of KU Engineering. “We are honored to have these individuals as part of the Jayhawk Engineering community.”
