Student(s) of the Year Award(s)
Warm congratulations go to Tracy Donoghue and Michael Morano for being named the 2015-16 ASCE Students of the year! Tracy and Mike were co-captains of our Seismic Design team which placed sixth internationally at the EERI Seismic Design Compeition in San Francisco. Highly organized and motivational leaders, they not only inspired their team members to attend late-night build days, but also to be active in the Chapter by attending Chapter Meetings. Their passion and charisma was as important as their attention to detail and hard work in the success of the Seismic Design team, and it has not gone unnoticed! Tracy is a senior and is focusing her studies on structural engineering. Tracy was recognized this spring with the BSCES Howe-Walker Award and the BSCES/ASCE Bertram Berger scholarship from UMass Amherst. This summer, she worked on a research project with Dr. Scott Civjan involving investigation of bat roosting sites on bridges in the Northeast. Mike Morano is also a senior and is focusing his studies on structural engineering with a special interest in earthquake engineering. This summer, he interned with the engineering design firm GeoDesign out of Middlebury, Connecticut. |
