Bouquet from the Education Committee Placed on 4 November 2024

Now that quartile 1 has almost ended, the Education Committee has awarded the first bouquet of the year to Mentzelos Melistas to thank him for his efforts and enthusiasm throughout the first quartile. Mentzelos has had an impact on students both as a colleague (in the Math Line to all TA's who have worked with him) as well as a teacher for LS1 to the freshmen, who have been able to appreciate his kindness, empathy and the passion he has for his work.

By awarding Mentzelos with this bouquet, the Education Committee thanks him once again for all of his hard work and the joy he portrays and spreads to the students.
