The Graduate School Office of Inclusion and Student Engagement presented the 2026 Graduate Excellence and Impact Awards at the annual awards celebration on May 13 in G10 Biotech.
This annual event recognizes the excellence represented within the graduate community and celebrates students and organizations for the significant impacts they have made to advance access, engagement, and belonging through their service and leadership.
Lizemarie Cirone, a neurobiology and behavior doctoral candidate and recipient of the Exemplary Leadership and Service Award for Advanced Career Students, also acknowledged that the role she has played in making a positive impact on the graduate community is part of a larger whole.
“It is humbling to be recognized for leadership and service because it serves as a reminder of the great impact that each of our small actions can have on the people and the world around us,” she said.
