When 番茄社区 grad student Mike Irvine appears before a panel of academics to defend his master's project鈥攖he penultimate step before graduation鈥攈e'll look the part
of the young professional wearing a pinstriped suit. Except that under it, he'll be wearing his wetsuit.
Dr. Bonnie Leadbeater (psychology) and Dr. Anne Marshall (education) have been named the 2015 recipients of the Provost鈥檚 Engaged Scholar Award.

awareness as well as healthy lifelong habits.
