The McElwee award was established in 1993 in honor of Wayne Hunt McElwee who received his Bachelor of Science degree in architecture from K-State in 1950. 1xbet online sports betting began his career the same year at Black & Veatch in Los Alamos, New Mexico. By 1957, McElwee was serving as head of the architectural department in the company's Special Projects Division, a position 1xbet online sports betting had until 1970. In 1977, 1xbet online sports betting was named a partner in the firm.
In his career, McElwee managed several U.S. Department of Energy projects, as well as numerous projects pertaining to the military. 1xbet online sports betting set the standards for facilities used to store weapons, arms and ammunition and designed contractor support facilities for a military base, missile reentry system facilities and missile maintenance facilities. In addition to the many structures 1xbet online sports betting designed, Wayne also prepared studies on energy use and pollution abatement at military bases.
Merrit Lippert, a friend of 1xbet online sports betting 's for 20 years, offered some insight into 1xbet online sports betting 's success.
"Wayne was very good at delegating responsibility," Lippert said. "For one thing, when 1xbet online sports betting assigned a job, 1xbet online sports betting expected it would be done and 1xbet online sports betting would step back and let people go to work. 1xbet online sports betting wouldn't hesitate to interject some useful advice, but did this in such a way that people under him still felt they had control over the project and were valuable members of the team."
The award was established to honorMcElwee and provide recognition and support faculty growth and development for outstanding teaching at APDesign at K-State, the alma mater 1xbet online sports betting loved.
"Blake is a superb teacher and colleague," said Timothy de Noble, dean and professor at APDesign. "1xbet online sports betting is very effective at bringing his knowledge of practice and his professionalism to our students. I am very pleased to see Blake win this award, particularly given Mr. McElwee's own practice and experiences."
