R.M. Hardy Scholarships For Two Graduate Students
One graduate students from the University of Alberta and one from The University of Calgary have received APEGGA R.M. Hardy Graduate Scholarships, valued at $2,000 each.
Daniel Healy, E.I.T.,
of Edmonton, is studying toward a doctorate in water resources
engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at the University of Alberta. Mr. Healy holds a
bachelor of science degree from Mount Allison University and a
bachelor of engineering (civil) from the Technical University of
Nova Scotia, as well as a master’s degree in water resource
engineering from the University of Alberta. He has been employed
with the Stanley Consulting Group Ltd. since 1996.
The second recipient, Janice Miller,
P.Eng., of Calgary, is working toward a PhD in the field of
biomechanics at The University of Calgary. She is a 1995 graduate
in mechanical engineering from The University of Calgary and most
recently has been employed as a research assistant at the U of C.
Named in honor of the late R.M. Hardy, a former dean of
engineering at the U of A, the two awards are presented annually
by the APEGGA Education Foundation to APEGGA members pursuing
graduate studies in engineering, geology or geophysics at the U
of A or U of C.
