Outstanding Student Award
Neal Bitter, of Rochester, Minn., has been chosen as the 2010 recipient of the Fred F. Loock Outstanding Student Award. This award is presented annually to the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) senior student, who, in the opinion of the faculty, most notably combines an excellent academic record and has at the same time demonstrated leadership and professional bearing in extracurricular or community service activities. It is the most prestigious student testimonial that MSOE bestows. Bitter will graduate May 29 with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from MSOE.
