At the Institute Awards Convocation on May 9, Course 1E senior Columbus “Bus” Leonard, the goalie of the MIT water polo team, received the Howard W. Johnson Award for best male senior athlete. Leonard was also named honorable mention All-American in the sport by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. “Athletics was a place where I made amazing friendships and continued to compete playing a sport that I love,” Leonard said. “I’ve loved the coursework, professors and research exposure that I’ve had in CEE and couldn’t feel more prepared by the department to think critically as I move outside of MIT.”
