It gives me great pleasure to share the news that my alma mater named me as a recipient for the 2009 Julia Beveridge Award at Illinois Institute of Technology. This is the highest honor awarded to extraordinary IIT women.

This is truly an honor since I had been nominated twice previously. Three is the charm. Thanks to the great recommendation letters and supports from friends and colleagues. Thank you.
