Two ESF students were named 2021 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence recipients.
Molly Mulhare and Timothy Webb-Horvath received the award which acknowledges graduating students who have best demonstrated the integration of academic excellence with other aspects of their lives, which may include leadership, campus involvement, community service, or the arts (creative or performing). This is the highest honor a student can receive from SUNY. Recipients were honored at an online ceremony hosted by SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras in April.
Mulhare graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental resources engineering.
She was an ESF Presidential Scholarship recipient and was on the dean’s and president’s lists multiple semesters. Mulhare graduated with a minor in recreation resource and protected area management and completed the upper division honors program at ESF with a project focusing on wetland biogeochemistry.
She was an active participant in Saturday of Service and was involved in the Alternative Spring Break, a 40-hour-a-week program during spring break focusing on homelessness in Syracuse.

He led more than 700 hours of community service and recruited more than 100 members. He was awarded the Community Service Excellence for an Individual Student SOLAR Award in 2020.
