Top Gun, Top Grades

Before he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in May 2006, Robert Woods was presented with the Top Gun Award at the 14th annual Academic Excellence Awards Dinner, sponsored by the Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes and the Athletics Department. The award is given to the graduating varsity athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average (GPA). Woods, a native of Atlantic, Iowa, came to the University on a football scholarship and graduated with a 3.95 GPA.

Other engineers honored at the dinner included Jericho, Vt., native Jack Goetz, a mechanical engineering student on the fencing team, and Patrick Davis, a computer science major from Clearwater, Fla., who was on the swimming team. Goetz and Davis also graduated in 2006.
