Seven alumni from the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have been elected to the Academy of Distinguished Alumni. While we were not able to gather in person to celebrate these new members and their accomplishments, we were able to have a virtual ceremony with videos introducing these new members. Please view and enjoy the virtual ceremony on YouTube.
These distinguished graduates are recognized for expertise in their fields, research and education advancements and strong leadership qualities. The 2020 honorees are Frank Carmichael, Neil Graff, Beth Gross, Chi-Kao Hsu, Clifford Randall, Carin Roberts-Wollmann, and Anton Schindler.
The department established the Academy of Distinguished Alumni to acknowledge the professional achievements and contributions of its graduates. Twenty-seven charter members were inducted into the academy in 2003, and over 125 additional members have been selected since.
Bob Gilbert, Chair of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering says “We are very proud of our alumni. We tell our students that they are privileged to be a part of this community and that is because of how successful our alumni have been."
