Dr. John Mays Endowed Scholarship Fund in Civil Engineering
Before his passing, we were notified by the University that a scholarship and Endowment program had been created in his honor. It is easier to quote the notice than to explain the award.
The Dr. John R. Mays Endowed Scholarship Fund in Civil Engineering was established to honor Dr. John R. Mays who served as professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado from 1967 until 2002. As a gifted instructor Dr. Mays not only taught many of the principles of static and dynamic design and analyses of simple and advanced structures, but he also demonstrated through his daily interactions with his students the principles of living with integrity, honor, and dignity as required in the Code of Ethics of Engineers.
Dr. John R. Mays was a professor and academic advisor to the former Melissa Eckley and she and her late husband Dave had the honorand privilege of working with Dr. Mays for many years at the Bureau of Reclamation. Melissa is pleased to contribute to promising civil engineering students enrolled in the College of Engineering, Design and Computing by establishing this scholarship in his name.
We are pleased to announce this honor and if you are able, please donate to this fund to help keep the legacy of Dr. Mays alive and well for future generations of engineers.
