Morgenstern Student Award

In 1989, the GSE introduced the GSE Graduate Student Award, which is presently known as N.R. Morgenstern Student Award since 1999. The award is given to the graduate student who submits the best paper as selected by the professors in the Geotechnical Division of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. Along with the monetary award and a certificate, the award winners are invited to present their paper to the general membership at a wine and cheese reception, held in the University of Alberta Faculty Club in the early fall. The wine and cheese meeting is the September meeting where the N.R. Morgenstern Graduate Student Award winner from the previous spring gives a presentation to the group. A poster session by other graduate students is also held at the reception, to allow the representatives from industry to meet and discuss current research projects with the students.
