KENNEDY RECOGNIZED FOR RESEARCH LEADERSHIP AGAIN

John B. Kennedy Civil Engineering Professor Emeritus has received the highest award for research in transportation from the American Society of Civil Engineers. If it seems that you heard this story before, you probably did. Dr. Kennedy is the first to be awarded the Arthur M. Wellington Prize a second time since it was inaugurated by the society in 1921.

The award was presented this time for his paper "Shear Distribution in Simply-Supported Curved Composite Cellular Bridges," which appeared last year in the Journal of Bridge Engineering. Dr. Kennedy shares the prize with his student Dr. Khaled Sennah. Kennedy's first Wellington prize was in 1995 for his analysis of skewed bridges. Both those reports will contribute to huge cost savings in the foreseeable future as governments in North America replace and upgrade highways and other infrastructure built in the early and mid 20th century.

AWARD HONOURS FORMER COLLEAGUE JOHN McAULIFFE

An award is being established in honour of the memory of Professor John McAuliffe. Dr. McAuliffe was Vice-President, Academic from 1974 to 1980 and held the position of Associate Dean of Law as well as that of Professor.

The award is in the form of an endowment fund of $6,000, which will generate at least $350 a year, designated to the student who attains the highest grade average in the Faculty of Law each year.

Anyone who would like to contribute to the fund by way of honour Dr. McAuliffe's memory and his contribution to the university, may send their contribution to Dr. Paul Cassano in the Office of External Affairs.
