Thanks for Generous Contribution to Jin S. Chung Award Fund
Cupertino, California, USA, November 26, 2005 – On behalf of the ISOPE Board of Directors, past and present, I am happy to announce that the total amount of $58,000 has been raised for the Jin S. Chung Award. The amount is close to our target amount. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all who contributed generously to this award fund.
The purpose of the Jin S. Chung Award is to acknowledge the man who achieved extraordinary academic and industrial accomplishments in the offshore and polar engineering and related fields. Along with his selfless volunteerism and leadership he has promoted fellowships among ocean and polar colleagues. He has guided the growth of these fields to their present compelling size, importance and recognition. Above all these, he has inspired others to follow in his footsteps.
Candidates for the first award and lecture nominated by ISOPE members andISOPE-2005 Seoul conference participants are being reviewed by the committee, headed this year by Ronald H Knapp, the president, in accordance with the procedure as previously announced.
