Angel Perez and Francisco Perez, mechanical engineering majors at The University of Texas at Tyler, were recognized for their outstanding service as UT Tyler student employees.
Angel, a senior, received a 2023 Leadership Award and served the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Health Outcomes. Francisco, a junior, received a 2023 Rising Star Award and served the Department of Electrical Engineering.
Leadership Award winners must demonstrate initiative, encourage and inspire teamwork, promote a supportive work environment and remain flexible. Rising Star Award winners must demonstrate a passion for their work, exemplify a strong work ethic and show creativity and innovation.
The students, both of Lindale, were recognized earlier this month during the annual student employee luncheon. Prior to the luncheon, student employee supervisors nominated their student employees for either a Leadership, Rising Star or Spirit Award.
