The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has launched
a new effort to raise $500,000 to fund a Faculty Scholar in
Environmental Sciences and Engineering. The initiative is the
department’s top priority, says Professor and Chair
Jeff Russell. “This funding will enable us to boost
the national and international visibility of our environmental
program,” he says. “It will help us foster excellence
in geoenvironmental engineering, biotechnology, water chemistry
and hydrology, environmental fluid mechanics, and environmental
chemistry and technology, among others.”
As of the end of October, the fund’s
total already reached $150,000, with major contributions from
Strand Associates, Inc. and Mead & Hunt, Inc.
