Awards & Honors

We're proud of the SIB community.

The School of Integrative Biology gladly celebrates excellence across our community by recognizing outstanding undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni through a variety of prestigious awards and fellowships. In addition to honors presented by the school and its departments, SIB also highlights achievements recognized by other campus units, as well as national and international organizations. These accolades reflect the breadth, depth, and impact of the integrative biology community.
