National Awards Thirteen senior students enrolled in CIE 449 - Environmental Engineering in Spring 2002 won the National Student Design Competition sponsored by the Water Environment Foundation (WEF) for their project, "Letchworth State Park Water Supply Study." The prize was based on submittal of a design notebook and presentation at the WEF National Meeting in Chicago, September 28-October 2, 2002. Jean Balent, Samuela Franceschini and Howard Kellick made the presentation. Other members of the student team were Chris Angier, Erika Bleyle, Dan Brown, Jeff Carpenter, Valarie Ellis, Heather Humphrey, Erik Magboo, Meaghan Partelow, Natalie Sauer, and Brian Szalda. Professor Alan Rabideau taught the class and advised the students.
Robert P. Apmann Memorial Awards (CSEE) The awards are given in memory of Robert P. Apmann who was a faculty member in water resources and environmental engineering at the time of his death. The awards are made possible by the income from an endowment created by his father, Colonel Arthur M. Apmann. The endowment currently generates income of about $1,000 a year. An award is given to an outstanding graduating senior in water resources and environmental engineering. The student is selected by the faculty from the area of environmental engineering and sciences. The selection is based on demonstrated scholastic achievement, service to other students, and leadership qualities. In addition, the award is also sometimes given to a first year graduate student in water resources and environmental engineering. The student is selected by the faculty from the area of environmental engineering and sciences. The selection is based on demonstrated scholastic achievement, service to other students, and leadership qualities.
