Many of these alumni seek opportunities to give back and offer a hand up to new Aggies following in their footsteps. USU College of Science Fall Convocation celebrates this enduring legacy by recognizing outstanding student recipients of our graduate and undergraduate College of Science scholarships and awards, as well as the generous scholarship donors supporting these scholars in their endeavors. The annual gathering provides an opportunity for Aggies, from generation to generation, to share their stories, their challenges and their wisdom in warm fellowship. |
