The Northwest Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers annually awards one $1,000 scholarship to a civil engineering student that lives within the boundaries of the Northwest Branch. This scholarship is to recognize the unselfish contributions to the civil engineering profession that were made by Mr. Harvey Goodell. Mr. Goodell provided leadership to the Branch for many years having been a LaCrosse area director from 1976-1984. He is most notably recognized by ASCE for his efforts in initiating and promoting the “Eminent Board” concept, which proposed methods for allowing private sector input in public engineering works. The hope of the Northwest Branch is that by awarding this scholarship, the spirit and enthusiasm shown by Mr. Goodell will be perpetuated.
