Tonight we attended the WVU alumni award dinner. Basically there are a lot of alumni and some alumni, professors, and students get awards. Tonight was a little extra special because Tristan was receiving an award- but he didn't know it until he got there. I was surprise that he didn't piece it together before we got there- he's usually too smart and attentive to detail for me to ever pull on over on him, but this time I managed to surprise him. His professor Dr. Anderson nominated him for the Kevin Kinsley Award for the Outstanding Graduate Student in Division of Forestry. It's an award for the grad student who not only is a good student, but goes above and beyond to help out where he can with other grad students and extra projects. That is definitely Tristan this year.
The ironic thing was that because Tristan has been helping with so many extra projects, the forestry yearbook let him pick the yearbook dedication and he and Ann Anderson wrote a dedication to Dr. Anderson. So, Dr. Anderson was also surprised with an award. neato.
Congratulations Tristan!
