Thomas C. Kavanagh
Memorial Structural Engineering Lecture
The Kavanagh Lecture
serves as a memorial to Dr. Thomas C. Kavanagh, who distinguished himself
as a structural engineer and served as professor of civil engineering
at the Pennsylvania State University from 1948 through 1952. During his
teaching career at Penn State and other universities, Dr. Kavanagh earned
the high regard and admiration of his many students, and his commitment
and dedication to the profession of structural engineering serve as a
standard for students and practitioners.
The Kavanagh Lecture is designed to bring a nationally or internationally
prominent structural engineer to the Penn State campus on an annual basis
to speak on a timely topic related to research in or the practice of structural
engineering. Several engineering departments at the University, as well
as many practicing engineers within central Pennsylvania, are engaged
in structural engineering. The Kavanagh Lecture provides a mechanism to
bring faculty, students, and practitioners together to strengthen the
structural engineering community.
This year's lecture will be
held in 129 Alumni Hall, HUB-Robeson Center, University Park (map
