Natalie Howley '03 and Associate Professor of Mathematics & Computer Science and Co-Faculty Head of Ross Commons Steve Abbott have been announced as the student and faculty speakers for the Senior Awards Ceremony. 313 seniors voted in the final election, selecting Abbott from a list of six faculty nominees and Howley from a list of five student nominees.
"I was surprised and honored to be given the privilege of addressing an audience of senior award winners," said Howley, a mathematics major. "It is nice to get a pat on the back from your professors but even better to get one from your peers. I will try to make my speech entertaining and concise," she said. Kaitlin Gregg '03, originally listed as a nominee for student speaker, was named the Phi Beta Kappa speaker.
Student nominees this year included, in addition to Natalie Howley, seniors Fahim Ahmed, Julia Fein, Quynh Nguyen, Katharine Ott, Jill Parsons and Michael Unger. Faculty nominees aside from Abbott included Assistant Professor of English Antonia Losano, Professor of English David Price, Benjamin F. Wissler Professor of Physics Rich Wolfson and Pardon Tillinghast Professor of Religion Larry Yarbrough.
