The Air & Waste Management Association would like to acknowledge up to two theses per year in each category.  These awards were created by the Association to encourage our academic members to serve as models for others to emulate and, in doing so, further the mission and objectives of the Association.

 

Any faculty advisor who is a member of A&WMA is encouraged to nominate an exceptional student for these prestigious awards.
