Great Minds in STEM is proud to announce its Class of 2025 award winners! 

Established in 1989 to honor world-class engineers, scientists and technology professionals to highlight their world-class contributions in the STEM fields, the HENAAC Awards have become synonymous with excellence. It is a true peer-review distinction conferred by an independent Selection Committee – Chaired this year by Dr. Albert P. Pisano, Dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego – and it signifies honorees as among the best and brightest in their field. The Luminary Awards were added in 2003 to expand the pool of honorees in order to highlight role models identified by the Selection Committee collaborating and initiating key programs and research within their respective organizations. 

All honorees will be honored at the 37th Annual GMiS Conference, “STEM 4 ALL,” October 2-4, 2025 in San Diego, CA.
