Construction Science student Piper Petree was selected as Gibbs College’s Outstanding Senior for 2022. Every Fall, the dean of each undergraduate college at OU selects one accomplished student to receive this Award of Merit.  

Ben Bigelow, the director of the Division of Construction Science, explained why Piper is well-deserving of this recognition: “Piper just takes care of her business. Whether it is class work, extra-curricular activities, or her job, she takes care of her responsibilities. But what is really outstanding is that she does it without the need for oversight or checking. Everything gets done and it gets done well.” 

Sixteen students received this esteemed award and were recognized at a recent ceremony. To see the full list of recipients, click here.  

Congratulations, Piper!
