Department of Civil Engineering Robert Dexter Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Robert Dexter Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to honor the contributions of the Universityof Minnesota Department of Civil Engineering's Associate Professor Robert Dexter. Dexter was one of the nation's top resources in the area of fracture mechanics in steel structures. His passing cut short a rising career in applied steel research, one that touched an unusually wide number of areas, from fatigue problems in bridges and buildings, to cracking in ship panels, to the collapse of overhead highway signs. Professor Dexter was also active in undergraduate student activities, serving as the ASCE University of Minnesota Chapter Advisor for many years.
This scholarship seeks to continue Robert Dexter's legacy of teaching and excellence in his field and will help to support students participating in activities that enhance their professional development outside of the classroom while pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering.
