Three UW Bioengineering (BioE) core faculty members were honored with FACET awards for their positive influence on students’ career and professional development.
UW’s Career Center at Engineering (CC@E) honored Soraya Bailey, assistant teaching professor, Suzie Pun, Washington Research Foundation Professor, and Alyssa Taylor, associate teaching professor, with 2022 Faculty Appreciation for Career Education & Training (FACET) Awards for their support of students.
The awards program, which launched in 2019, invites UW Engineering students to nominate a College of Engineering faculty member who has positively impacted their professional development through mentorship and career preparation.
The 2022 awardees were recognized at the FACET awards banquet on May 10. An adjunct professor of bioengineering, Ted Gross, professor of orthopaedics and sports medicine, was also recognized.
This is the third time that Bailey has received this award, and the second honor for Taylor. Faculty reactions and excerpts from students who nominated them are below.
