BigDEAL Students Receiving Awards from Lee College of Engineering

Today (April 21, 2015), William States Lee College of Engineering hosted an award luncheon to celebrate student achievements. I'm very pleased to see two of our BigDEAL students being recognized in this event:

• Jingrui (Rain) Xie received the Outstanding Graduate Research Assistant Award. I recently highlighted Rain's achievement in THIS POST. 
• Bidong Liu received the Outstanding Graduate Student Award, mainly for his leadership to win the poster contest of Analytics2014 and NPower Forecasting Challenge 2015. 

Moreover, we had the first full house today with all BigDEAL members gathered on campus. Here is a selfie we took after the award luncheon. Thanks to Bidong's selfie stick :)
