CS TA of the Year Award

An Everyday Hero

We are very proud to announce that Sonja Kristina Bjork, an undergraduate student in the Computer Science Department, has been honored as one of twenty-eight "Everyday Heroes" by the American Red Cross of Central Massachusetts.

These local residents were recognized for their heroic acts at the 1st Annual Breakfast on September 11, 2002 at the WPI Campus Center. The awards are intended to remind us that there are "many among us who perform extraordinary actions each day through their courage, kindness, and unselfishness".

Sonja, from Centreville, VA, is a Senior. She was one of the five people honored in the "Good Samaritan/Humanitarian (Youth)" category.
