³Ô¹ÏÍø

Chemical and biological engineering senior Arianna McCarty has earned the prestigious Churchill Scholarship, becoming just the fourth student in university history to receive the honor. The award will support a year of master’s study at the ³Ô¹ÏÍø of Cambridge, recognizing her exceptional research achievements and academic excellence.

The recognitions reflect Coleman's work as a teaching assistant for six classes; his strong academic performance—including three graduate-level classes— and his research, where he served as first author on two papers stemming from his undergraduate thesis. It also reflects his time spent as a ChBE student ambassador.

The win came at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ international Chem-E-Car competition in Boston, where CU Boulder’s poster stood out among 56 teams.

Hermann Klein-Hessling Barrientos faced challenges with housing, medical and food insecurity, yet overcame them to earn the College of Engineering and Applied Science Perseverance Award as well as the college’s Outstanding Undergraduate Award.

Congratulations to our eight chemical and biological engineering undergraduate students who won 12 awards from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
