We are pleased to announce that Tom Sabol, Adjunct Associate Professor in our department, has received the 2008 George Winter Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Tom is being recognized for his contributions as a practitioner, code developer and educator in the area of seismic design of steel structures and his effort to improve the community through church activities. The award is named for Dr. George Winter, world renowned teacher and researcher at Cornell University, who died in 1982. The George Winter Award is intended as a recognition of the achievements of an active structural engineering researcher, educator or practitioner who best typifies the late Dr. George Winter's humanistic approach to his profession: i.e., an equal concern for matters technical and social, for art as well as science, for soul as well as intellect. The Award was officially instituted by action of the ASCE Board of Direction in April 1990.
