Bhargavi Krishnan Named 2022 Gould Award Recipient

Each year, the Engineering Student Council seeks nominations and selects one advisor from within the School of Engineering to receive The Henry E. Gould Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. This year, Bhargavi Krishnan, Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Senior Academic Advisor, was chosen for this honor. The award was presented to her during the spring commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 14.

The Gould Award was established by Meredith Gould and Natkin and Company in 1966 as a memorial to Henry E. Gould. The Excellence in Undergraduate Advising was established in 2002. Henry Gould graduated from KU in 1931 with a Mining Engineering degree. After graduation, Gould worked for Natkin and Company, a mechanical contracting firm in Kansas City. Gould passed away in 1965 at age 57. These memorials reflect Mr. Gould’s life-long recognition of the values of an engineering education and the great contribution made by the teaching profession.

Bhargavi was selected because of her constant support, caring, and passion for student success. We are truly blessed to have her in the department. Please help us congratulate Bhargavi on this respected and well-deserved recognition.
