The Department of Technology student chapter of the Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) recently won the 2014 Outstanding Student Chapter Award.

This honor was presented at the annual ATMAE 2014 Conference in St. Louis in November. The JSU ATMAE Chapter was recognized for its growing membership, community service, professional development activities and for promoting ATMAE’s mission of leadership and achievement.

JSU Associate Professor of Technology Dr. Jessica L. Murphy, who is also the ATMAE and Epsilon Pi Tau adviser, credits high-achieving students for recent accomplishments.

“One reason for such success on a national level is because of the leadership, specifically Casey Randolph (ATMAE president, technology) and Jasmine Keys (ATMAE vice president, technology). They provide a presence for recruitment, and their zeal has helped restore the organization. As well, they’re pushing to work with other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) majors for a stronger presence on campus and the national level,” Murphy said.

The honor is  not the first time for the JSU chapter. It also earned the Outstanding Student Chapter Award in 2010.
