*Dr. Janusz Supernak Designates Bequest to Endow The Supernak Award for
Excellence*



Four years ago, ASCE student leaders established "The Supernak Excellence
Award" named after their Faculty Advisor for over two decades. This award
has since been given to the top 5 ASCE student contributors. That prompted
Dr. Supernak to establish an endowment for an annual monetary award given
to the top student out of the five finalists.


On behalf of the College of Engineering, we are pleased to announce that
Dr. Janusz Supernak, long time Department Chair of Civil, Construction and
Environmental  Engineering has made a $50,000 bequest that when realized
will endow the *Dr. Janusz Supernak Award for Excellence*.  The award will
recognize an outstanding student in the Department of Civil, Construction
and Environmental Engineering. In addition to the bequest and until it’s
realized, Dr. Supernak will make annual gifts of $1,000 to fulfill the
yearly awards.


Dr. Supernak is a long standing champion of philanthropy for the College of
Engineering as he has been instrumental in facilitating the Filanc family
naming for the J.R. Filanc CEM Program, the Stephen and Lynne Doyle
Endowment gift for CEM and the William E. Leonhard Jr. Chair for
Environmental Engineering.


The College of Engineering is grateful for all those who provide much
needed philanthropic support. When university leaders step forward and
provide support, it’s even more significant.  If you happen to see Dr.
Supernak, please feel free to say thank you for all the philanthropic
leadership he’s provided throughout the years and for this generous
designation.


If you or someone you know is interested in learning about ways to provide
philanthropic support to the College of Engineering, please have them reach
out to Kate Carinder, Senior Director of Development at kcarinder at sdsu.edu.
