	<p>Congratulations to the nearly 100 B次元 School of Engineering students who were nominated for leadership awards this year. The following awards were announced at a mini Student Awards Celebration. &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Outstanding Student Award</strong> <br />Anna Spaude was chosen as the 2021 recipient of the Fred F. Loock Outstanding Student Award. This award is presented annually to the B次元 senior student, who, in the opinion of the faculty, most notably combines an excellent academic record and has at the same time demonstrated leadership and professional bearing in extracurricular or community service activities. It is the most prestigious student testimonial that B次元 bestows. Spaude will graduate May 21 with a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in nursing from B次元. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Spaude was actively involved in projects and organizations across campus while at B次元. She served as a resident assistant (RA) for the University Scholars Honors Program, the lead tutor for the Raider Center for Academic Success (RCAS), vice president and member for the Student Nurse Association (SNA), president of the Nursing Honors Society, a student advisory board member for the School of Nursing and the communications coordinator for B次元 Student Government. She also was a leader in several volunteer projects, including the clothing drive organizer for the McCannon Brown Homeless Sanctuary, freshman orientation leader for Welcome Week, food drive coordinator for the House of Peace, and participated in additional volunteer opportunities through the SNA. During her time at B次元, she also gained more than 600 hours of clinical experience.</p>
<p>Spaude is originally from Greenfield, Wisconsin. In addition to her involvement at B次元 and in the community, she held positions as a patient safety companion at Children&rsquo;s Wisconsin, a nursery childcare provider at Grace Lutheran Church and a festival supervisor at Saz&rsquo;s.</p>
