UC students receive inaugural Arnold I. Miller awards
November 7, 2024
Two students have won the Arnold I. Miller Awards for Outstanding Rising Senior in the UC’s School for Environment and Sustainability (SEaS). Seniors Daoud Saadeh and Jennifer Tomak were the first two recipients of the honor. The award recognizes students for their involvement in the community and their work in the classroom. The award is named for Miller, an emeritus professor of geology, former senior associate dean, and a formative director of SEaS, which is part of UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. SEaS was established just a year ago, created in response to student and faculty demand for a comprehensive hub of environmental research and teaching. An interdisciplinary school, it offers students the opportunity to deep-dive into a curriculum that includes both robust environmental science and social sciences at the same time. It also includes opportunities for co-op, internship, research and study-abroad experiences. Although both Tomak and Saadeh are majoring in environmental studies, they both took a different path to get there.
