Prof. William Crossley is the recipient of the 2017 Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award, as voted on by graduate students in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Eleven faculty members were nominated by AAE graduate students for this annual award, and representatives from AeroAssist chose Prof. Crossley as the winner.

 

The nomination for Prof. Crossley, in part, read “This award recognizes Professor William Crossley for exemplary mentorship of graduate students, particularly for his humility and patience: no subject is too banal, no question too trivial, no opinion too petty, and no plan too futile. His pragmatic, unbiased approach helps students discover the true substance and worth in their ideas, and themselves, especially when they cannot. We feel honored to have him as an advisor.”

 

Prof. Crossley will be presented with the 2017 Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award during a gathering on April 27th from 3-3:30pm on the 3rd floor of ARMS.
