2024 ICC Achievement Awards

The ICC presents the Achievement Awards during the Computing [MTU] Showcase each year, and this year’s recipients were announced during the reception at the Bonfire in Houghton.

The ICC Achievement Awards recognize members that put forth exceptional contributions to the mission of the Institute. The goal of the ICC is to promote research and learning experience within the seven comprising centers for the benefit of Michigan Tech, the Upper Peninsula, and society at large.
