Bert Wasmund, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션61, MASc카지노 게임 컬렉션63, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션08, believed a university education could be life changing.
For decades, Dr. Wasmund and his family have funded numerous awards to support this belief 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and he has been credited with enabling the success of more than 100 students in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and other disciplines at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Dr. Wasmund also wanted to make space for students who faced barriers in attending university, including Indigenous students and students from high schools in the area of Bancroft, Ont., where he grew up.
Wasmund told a podcast hosted by in 2019 about his upbringing in the tiny rural community of Monteagle, a few kilometres north of Bancroft, and how he got his start at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We were very humble. People had to work hard at mixed farming and timbering to make a living at all. (I) went to a one-room public school, all eight grades in the same class, taught by one teacher. I went to high school in Bancroft and then I applied to universities, but it wasn't going so well. So, I went to work at (the historic Bicroft Uranium Mines) and that was really a good thing because I got some good mentors.카지노 게임 컬렉션카지노 게임 컬렉션―
He was uncertain about where he might go to university until he met an alumnus at Bicroft who convinced him to come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션That was one of the best moves I ever made. That got me straightened out and 카지노 게임 컬렉션¦ I put my abilities better to work,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he said.카지노 게임 컬렉션―
He earned his Bachelor of Science in 1961 and Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1963. He then went to the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto, where he earned a PhD. Soon after, he joined Hatch, a Canadian firm that supplies engineering, project and construction, business consulting, and operational services to the mining, metallurgical, energy, and infrastructure sectors. He would become one of just four to lead the company in 1990 and forged a decorated, 50-year-long career at Hatch.
He was known for his technical skills and innovative approaches to solving long-standing industrial problems. His efforts have resulted in important improvements to metal works productivity, cost effectiveness and energy efficiency, as well as environmental and workplace safety developments. His name is on several patents for specialized metallurgical reactors, as well as cooling systems used for protecting the walls of smelters. These achievements earned Dr. Wasmund worldwide recognition.
He was awarded the prestigious Noranda Airey Award in 1998, inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2011, and earned the Ontario Professional Engineers' Gold Medal in 2012. He was also granted honorary doctorates from Queen's and the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto. In 2017, Dr. Wasmund became a member of the Order of Canada.카지노 게임 컬렉션―
Yet he never forgot his alma maters. He served on the Queen's 카지노게임사이트 Applied Science advisory board. He has lent his support to research initiatives and funded scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students at both universities.카지노 게임 컬렉션―
The카지노 게임 컬렉션―Wasmund Family Memorial Scholarship, established in honour of his parents, has been a critical component in the development of many successful Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s graduates. It opened opportunities for students at North Hastings High School, Madawaska Valley District High School, Opeongo High School, and Renfrew Collegiate Institute, and helped students succeed in fields as diverse as biology, medicine, economics, linguistics, public administration, law, music, engineering, teaching, nursing and social work.
Dr. Wasmund also established the Bert Wasmund Scholarship for Sustainable Energy Research along with his son, Dr. Eric Wasmund, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션88.
Together, the Wasmunds created two funds aimed at supporting Indigenous students entering their first year of the Bachelor of Applied Science degree program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, with renewable options for each year of their Engineering undergraduate degree.
Melanie Howard, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션95, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션98, is the director of , a program that supports Indigenous students enrolled in engineering at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, as well as youth in their communities. Howard saw first-hand the impact the Wasmunds카지노 게임 컬렉션 generosity had on students attending Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션For Indigenous students, it was the ability to think about coming to a university like Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, which requires most students to move to Kingston and thus is more expensive than something closer to their homes,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Howard adds that Dr. Wasmund took pride in connecting with students 카지노 게임 컬렉션 acting as a mentor to many scholarship recipients. He also encouraged students to gain practical experience in engineering at Hatch. Dr. Wasmund and his son, Eric, also hosted a dinner with the students each year that, Howard says, was a highlight for Dr. Wasmund.
Dr. Kevin Deluzio, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션88, MASc카지노 게임 컬렉션90, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션98, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, remembers Dr. Wasmund카지노 게임 컬렉션s determination in helping students succeed.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Bert was a visionary who had a transformative effect on industry, on access to post-secondary education, and, most importantly, on the lives of the many young people he supported and mentored over the years,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dean Deluzio says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When Bert established his most recent fund, the Wasmund Family Indigenous Engineering Scholars, I learned more about his deep passion for the power of education and his commitment to a better future for Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s Indigenous youth.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Bert inspired me to do more as well, for our students, our profession, and our community. He has left a strong legacy that will be carried on by his son, Dr. Eric Wasmund.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Professor Emeritus Tom Harris, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션75, knew Dr. Bert Wasmund for 30 years in his role as department head, dean, vice-principal (Academic and Advancement) and provost.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Bert was an extraordinary individual who quietly excelled in so many of his interests 카지노 게임 컬렉션 science and engineering, leadership, philanthropy, and mentorship,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Harris. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Most of all, I will remember Bert as someone who cared deeply about this country, and the importance of education for those who did not have the opportunities that many of us had.카지노 게임 컬렉션
