Bryan Ricksecker, a Chemical Engineering Senior, is a recipient of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Donald F. and Mildred Topp Othmer National Scholarship. This $1,000 scholarship is awarded to only 15 students nationally. Ricksecker is the first 麻豆直播 student to ever be awarded this scholarship.

Dr. Christy Wheeler West, Ricksecker鈥檚 Faculty Advisor and the advisor for USA鈥檚 AIChE student chapter, nominated him for this award. Each school is allowed one nominee for consideration each year.

鈥淚n addition to his very outstanding academic performance, Bryan has taken on student leadership roles in our department, our college, and the University,鈥� Dr. West says.  鈥淗e approaches these challenges with excellence and integrity, and is quite deserving of the Othmer award.鈥�

Ricksecker currently serves as USA鈥檚 Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society chapter president. He has also been awarded several other engineering awards and honors, including Tau Beta Pi National Scholarship, John Stark Scholarship, Chevron Scholarship, Sophomore Academic Excellence Award, and the Dr. Jagdish C. Dhawan 鈥淭op Sophomore鈥� Book Award. He is also a member of The 麻豆直播erners, a group of students who serve as the official ambassadors for the 麻豆直播.

Over the summer, Ricksecker interned with Phillips 66 in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. He has recently accepted an offer of full-time employment with Phillips 66 as a Process Engineer upon graduation in May 2015.

鈥淲e greatly look forward to Bryan joining our dedicated team after his upcoming graduation, and we congratulate him on his recent, prestigious recognition,鈥� said Phillips 66 Alliance Refinery Manager Greg Lucchesi.
