Recognition

In 2009, Eno was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Particles and Fields, "for contributions in particle physics involving electroweak parameters, precision electroweak measurements, and physics beyond the Standard Model at the Tevatron". She was named to the 2021 class of Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The University of Maryland named her as a Distinguished Scholar–Teacher in 2014.
