It was moved that the action items, Approval of May 2012 Graduates and Honorary Degrees and Awards be moved to the beginning of the meeting. It was seconded and approved without discussion. The Registrar presented the May 2012 list of Graduates for approval. Dr. Raymond seconded the motion. There was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. Dr. Morales-Juberias, Chair, Honorary Degrees & Awards Committee would like the Faculty Senate to consider the nomination made by Dr. Cal from Civil and Environmental Engineering for an honorary Associates degree in General Studies to be awarded to Andrew Hicks. Andrew was a former Civil Engineering student who passed away on September 11, 2009. Andrew was the son of Steven and Julie Hicks both employees of ɫ Tech. At the time of his passing, Andrew had just begun his sophomore year at ɫ Tech, and his anticipated graduation date was May, 2012. Dr Morales moved for inclusion of the honorary degree. There was no discussion and the motion passed. Langmuir Award for excellence in research is given for an outstanding scientific research paper by any student or graduate of the university. The Faculty Senate voted the Langmuir award go to Julien Chaput - Geophysics PhD student. Dr. Philip spoke to the merits of Juliens paper. It is extraordinary because in order to get data for the research from the summit of Mt Erebus, one hundred seismographs had to be installed. All this was done to capture a three dimensional image of the magna conduit. He then was able to come up with a way to three dimensionally map the magna conduit. This has never been done before. This research is very cutting edge in the volcanology community. Dr. Borchers commented that Juliens modeling work was exceptional. The Brown Award is presented to the student achieving a Bachelor of Science degree who is judged by the faculty to be highest in scholarship, conduct and leadership. Six names were presented, all receiving strong support from the faculty. A motion to close the nominations was made, seconded and passed. An initial vote was taken. The Senate voted to narrow the field to the two students receiving the most votes. From the top two, Alyssa Rose, receiving her Bachelors in Chemical Engineering was selected from a field of outstanding students. Alyssa is described by a number of the faculty as a great student who always went above and beyond what was expected. She consistently took the lead on group projects. Alyssa received the prestigeous Macey Scholar and Engineering Student of the year and a Student Appreciation Award. Her work in directed study as service to the department will be presented this summer. Dr Leclerc explained her work as a TA for ES 111 went beyond the others TAs for the course. She wrote quiz labs and authored a chapter of the lecture notes for the lab. The amount of effort far exceeded any other TA, dealing with the 130 students in this class. Alyssa is described as a great member of the Tech Community. She is a Tau Beta Pi scholar who has worked at Sandia National Lab and will attend graduate school in Washington State. It was moved and seconded to recognize all the nominees as exceptional students. This should take place through a letter from the Academic Affairs division acknowledging them and acknowledgment in the Commencement script. The motion was approved and will be implemented immediately. The Cramer is awarded to the outstanding graduating male and female engineering student for their outstanding scholarship. Dr. Engler presented the names of Jared Kukar, Mechanical Engineering and Breanne Dunaway, Petroleum Engineering from the Engineering Chairs. There was no discussion and the motion passed. The Founders Award honors a student receiving an advanced degree who has contributed to the institution through scholarship, research and involvement in campus affairs. The faculty put three names forward. A Masters of Science Teaching student, Steve Temple was selected for his project to integrate physics into complex systems to sense soil moisture and solar energy sources. His work has resulted in an organic garden. Mr. Temple wrote grants to add a wing to the school for other teachers to perform experiments. He is an exceptional student. Returning to the agenda, Dr. Borchers asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the April 3, 2012 meeting. Dr. Stone so moved, Dr. Phillips seconded and the motion passed. Announcements Dr. Lpez said he will be spending the summer working on the formula to compete for funding dollars. The two year schools are very competitive trying to gain dollars from 4 year schools. He extended his gratitude for the hard work done. We see your effort and we are proud of the work you do to bring such outstanding students forward.
