Sjostrom Honored By Colorado State

Each year the Colorado State University Alumni Association honors an outstanding alumnus from each of the university's eight colleges. An Honor Alumnus is a former student who, by his distinguished career and service to the university, state, nation, or world, has brought honor to Colorado State University and to himself.

Mr. Rex Sjostrom (’52 BS Civil Engineering, ’56 MS Electrical Engineering) is the recipient of the Colorado State University Alumni Association's 2004 Honor Alumnus Award for the College of Engineering.

Mr. Sjostrom, the retired vice president of Special Programs at Martin Marietta, has previously been honored with the NASA Public Service Award for contributions to the Viking Mars exploration program, two Martin Marietta Jefferson Cups (the Corporation's highest award), and the Army Commendation Medal and Meritorious Service Medal for his contributions to the National Guard and the Army Reserve. He is a retired Colonel in the Colorado National Guard and the Army Reserve and has been recognized in Who's Who in the West.

“We are proud to call Mr. Sjostrom one of our alumni. His career achievements, leadership, and dedication to the university serves as an inspiration to our next generation of engineers,” states ECE Department Head Dr. Tony Maciejewski.
