Five sophomore computer science majors were recently selected as this year’s recipients of the Lockheed Martin Awards for Outstanding Achievement and Academic Service. The winners of this year’s awards are: John Blitzer, Daniel Dantas, Nidhi Kalra, Benjamin Ragheb, and Jeffrey Vinocur.

Among the selection criteria were academic achievement, research accomplishments, and/or service to the teaching mission of the Department of Computer Science. Each winner will receive a cash award of $500 and a $500 research account to use for educational purposes during the next academic year. A special reception and dinner is planned to honor the award winners. Cornell faculty and administrators are slated to attend along with Steve Betza, Lockheed’s Chief Information Officer.
