B.S., M.E. Students Ng and Tosi, recipients of the 2009 Merrill Award

 Zi Jie Joshua Ng, B.S., M.E. '09, Luis Phillipe Tosi, B.E., M.E., '09 are recipients of the 2009 Merrill Presidential Scholars award. 

Merrill Presidential Scholars are chosen from a pool of graduating students who are in the top 5% of their class (within their major) and who also have demonstrated leadership ability, community involvement and the potential for continued contributions to society. While this award is not monetary, it does recognize the achievements of our students as well as recognize their favorite former high school teacher and their most influential faculty member at Cornell. In addition, the Merrill Scholars are invited to be banner bearers during the May Commencement ceremony.
