The James M. Pohlen Memorial Scholarship was created in the memory of
Jim Pohlen (1965-1988), a member of the class of 1989, and is awarded
annually to a fourth-year architectural engineering student. The award,
which is in recognition of strong character and exemplary achievement
in architectural engineering, honors Jim’s fine academic record, his participation
in a wide variety of organizations and activities, and, most of all, his
ability to interact positively with those around him. Jim Pohlen
was highly respected by all who knew him and was admired for his ability
to balance his academics with other activities.
