The 9^th Annual Outstanding Student of the Year Awards ceremony took place in January during the Transportation Research Board (TRB) 79^th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. For the past eight years, DOT has honored the most outstanding student from each UTC at a special ceremony held during TRB Week. Each student received a certificate presented by Secretary of Transportation and $1,000 from his/her UTC. Traditionally, all awardees have been affiliated with the UTC program administered by the Research and Special Programs Administration, with funding from the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. This year, in the spirit of "ONE DOT", the Department for the second time also honored an awardee from the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Transportation Centers of Excellence.
