INDUSTRY NEWS
FEF Distributes Scholarships The 2015 Foundry Educational
Foundation College Industry Conference (CIC) attracted nearly 300 industry executives, key professors, student delegates and FEF supporters to its gather- ing in Chicago. During the General Session on
Nov. 20, speakers, including Jason Gutierrez, Strategic Materials Corp., Tom Prucha, AFS, and Rick James, Metal Technologies, shared their work and personal experiences in the metal casting industry. Each focused on Con- tributions to Technology—this year’s CIC theme. The FEF/AFS Distinguished
Professor Award was presented to FEF Key Professor Paul Sand- ers, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Mich., in recognition of his excellence as
a motivator and mentor to his students, as well as his high-level knowledge and interaction with the industry. FEF’s highest award, the E.J. Walsh Award, was pre- sented to Bill Sorensen, former FEF Executive Director, in recog- nition of his many years of service in developing and expanding the impact of the Foundry Educa- tional Foundation. Additionally, FEF awarded more than $59,000 in scholarships to 25 students, including the Modern Casting Partners scholarship to Aaron Weir, Virginia Tech. The Modern Casting Part-
ners Scholarship was established in 1997 as a part of FEF’s 50th anniversary celebration. This endowment is comprised of advertising proceeds received by Modern Casting from advertising
space bought by companies, con- gratulating FEF’s first 50 years in the September, 1997 special training & education issue. Next year’s conference will be
held on November 17-18 at the Westin Michigan Avenue in Chi- cago.
