AFS Distinguished Achievement Awards to George Welch and Alexei Sokolov
Texas A&M University and The Association of Former Students have selected 24 outstanding members of the university’s faculty and staff to be honored with 2020 Distinguished Achievement Awards. The university-level Distinguished Achievement Awards were first presented in 1955 and have since been awarded to more than 1,000 professionals who have exhibited the highest standards of excellence at Texas A&M.
In recognition of their achievements, each recipient will receive a cash gift, an engraved watch, and a commemorative plaque.
