KENNESAW, Ga. | Aug 29, 2022
ʳɫƵ AEE student member, Addie Thornton, was chosen to receive the 2019 “Outstanding Student Chapter Member” Award in the US. Addie has been an AEE ʳɫƵ chapter member since 2016 and served as the President from Fall 2016 – Spring 2018, the Secretary from Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 and now serves as the Marketing Officer this school year. Addie is a senior at ʳɫƵ majoring in Civil Engineering, minoring in Construction Management and pursuing a Land Surveying Certificate.
AEE corporate chose Addie as the recipient of this award due to her hard work and dedication in helping to “start-up” the AEE student chapter again in 2016 as it fell inactive during the ʳɫƵ / SPSU merge. Addie will be attending the AEE World conference and expo (formerly WEEC) in Washington, DC this September to accept this award and the other two chapter awards on ʳɫƵ AEE’s behalf.
ʳɫƵ AEE is honored to be taking home three awards this fall. The chapter has made great strides over the past three years to provide students with interesting meetings and tours, as well as foster a community of energy professionals and enthusiasts. ʳɫƵ AEE is looking forward to another great year and hopes to bring home more awards for this upcoming school year!
