Outstanding First Year Student:  Heather Rawls (she also was the outstanding freshman chemistry student!)

Outstanding Second Year Student:  Christina Barr

Outstanding Third Year Student: Toyosi Adewunmi

Outstanding Fourth Year Student:  Chris Tatum

Danny Cooley Award Winner:  Brad Rowland

The Danny Cooley Award is in memory of McMurry alum Dr. Danny Cooley, who as a graduate student in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at TTU discovered the cause of sick building syndrome.  Danny was an outstanding student, war veteran, decorated firefighter, and man of great character.  The recipient exhibits similar qualities and receives a financial award to help with the cost of their education.

In addition to the BIMS program awards, other BIMS majors also received awards from other areas of campus for their academic achievements.

Recently declared BIMS major Nicole McGunegle was named Outstanding First Year Writer by the Department of English.

Miranda Nguyen received the All-Conference Distinguished Scholar-Athlete Award for Women’s Soccer.

Our congratulations to each of these students!  BIMS majors are widely acknowledge as among the best students on campus and you make us proud!
