American Academy of Water Resources Engineers Recognizes UH Civil Engineering

Jerry Rogers, who retired as professor emeritus from the UH department of civil and environmental engineering in 2013, recently became the fourth recipient of a Service to the Academy Award from the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers (AAWRE), a subsidiary of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

The award, established in 2014, recognizes engineers who hold a Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE) certification — an honor Rogers previously achieved — for leadership, service and contributions to the academy.

Rogers is a founding member of the AAWRE Board of Trustees and participated on the AAWRE Admissions Committee from 2006-2015. He was also one of the founding members of the ASCE Environmental & Water Resources Institute (EWRI) and served on the former ASCE Water Resources Planning & Management Division. He helped launch the EWRI History & Heritage Committee, serving as chair and served as chair of First National ASCE Education Congress in 1999.

Congrats Professor Rodgers! Go Coogs!
