![]() 2017 ASC Lifetime Achievement AwardThe ASC is pleased to announce that Wesley “Wes” Crawford is the recipient of the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award. The following excerpts are taken from the many letters submitted to the ASC Board of Directors in support of Professor Crawford’s nomination.
“It is a pleasure to provide this letter in support of Wesley Crawford’s nomination for the Associated Schools of Construction Lifetime Achievement Award. I have known Wes since my early years in construction education, and I can say that Mr. Crawford is a major contributor to construction education and the profession in general. He has earned the respect and admiration of his students and peers throughout his years of effective instruction and leadership. His passion brings education and the industry together to develop the next generation of construction professionals:“
“Wesley Crawford has had several leadership roles and received various awards for excellence in teaching, including the first ever National Outstanding Educator award from the Associated Schools of Construction. He has held leadership roles in national construction education organizations including President of both the Associated Schools of Construction and Sigma Lambda Chi. Ultimately he became president of each of these two organizations, an accomplishment which required membership and leadership on many committees of the organizations. In addition, he has been on the Board of Directors for the Association of Honor Societies and President of Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors, Tecumseh Chapter:” “In addition to being an outstanding professor who cares about educating his students and ensuring they are ready for the workplace, Wes has maintained his ties to industry as well. He has worked summers for Peter Kiewit and Sons on a number of occasions, as well as for other companies teaching us sound surveying techniques, and learning current workplace needs from us, as well as current methods that we may have developed outside academia. Further, Wes has visited his students doing internships with us, as well as staying in touch and ensuring that their internships are productive. Wes’ knowledge of the industry is further demonstrated by the books he has published and that Kiewit has bought and used to train our surveyors. That one of the largest construction companies in the United States and the largest heavy and highway contractor would use his books to train our own people is a huge compliment and testimony to his impact on students and on the industry.” |
