Jane Yates, who earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering in May, was named Missouri S&T’s Renaissance Student for 2026. Yates received the award, which included a $1,300 prize, on Tuesday, May 5, at a ceremony hosted by the arts, languages, and philosophy department.
This award is presented each year to a senior student who exhibits the qualities of a “Renaissance” person – someone who excels in multiple intellectual or artistic disciplines. The most famous example is Leonardo Da Vinci, who was a painter, sculptor, musician, mathematician, inventor and writer.
