Casey Barnard was selected for the UF Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering Attribute of a Gator Engineer Award for the 2016-2017 academic year. Specifically, Casey won the award in the area of Leadship based on his service within IMG, MAE, COE and NRF. In addition his activities within IMG, he currently serves on MAE Graduate Student Council, chairs the COE Graduate Student Council, and serves on the NRF Users Advisory Committee.
Prof. David Arnold has been selected by the University of Florida Research Foundation as one of the 34 UFRF Professors for 2016-2019. The recognition goes to faculty who have a distinguished current record of research and a strong research agenda that is likely to lead to continuing distinction in their fields. IMG extends its warmest congratulations!
