How Plywood Saved Glen Canyon Dam

This Leonard E. Wood Lecture Series has been given since 2010 in honor of Professor Leonard E. Wood, an alum (PhD, 1956) and Purdue faculty member from 1956 to 1993. During his distinguished career at Purdue University, Dr. Wood served as more than an instructor. He was a mentor, a counselor, a teacher, and a friend who was truly dedicated to and for the students. His influence continues to be felt through the impact he had on his students and colleagues and through his legendary work with the Co-op Program.

We are asking all attendees to register for the event; however, Purdue faculty/staff/student registration is complimentary so there are no fees to attend for our Purdue University colleagues/students.
