Today we celebrate engineer 2023 Helen Grenga Outstanding Woman Engineer Award recipient Lillian Tso!
Here’s more from Georgia Tech:
Lillian Tso, an undergraduate student in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, has been awarded the 2023 Helen Grenga Outstanding Woman Engineer Award. Named after the first full-tenured female engineering professor at Georgia Tech, this award recognizes the outstanding achievements of a female engineer each year.
Tso, who will graduate in December, says she is incredibly honored to receive the award and expressed her gratitude to those within the Woodruff School. “I am so thankful for all the support I have received from the mechanical engineering department: my professors, classmates, advisors, and mentors,” Tso said upon learning of her win.
“I want to thank my mom for all her support as well,” she added. Tso’s mother, also an engineer, was one of two females to graduate in her class. “She has always given me someone to look up to.”
With a personal philosophy to “say yes” to opportunities that come her way and to always be on the lookout for new experiences, Tso has had a rich and eventful time as an undergraduate including interning at NASA, blogging for Georgia Tech-Europe, and bikepacking across Newfoundland, Canada through Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech (ORGT).
“I can think of no one more deserving of this award,” said Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies and Professor Brandon Dixon. “Lillian’s intelligence, personal demeanor, and contagious enthusiasm for the opportunities available to students within the Woodruff School and Georgia Tech are such a visible example that our students are our greater asset.”
