The Arkansas Academy of Civil Engineering is an accomplished group of civil engineering alumni who have shown exceptional merit and together have given over $100,000 in student body scholarships this past year. They also contribute to the recruitment of new tenure-track faculty. This aides the Department of Civil Engineering in ensuring only the highest quality of faculty brought in and in turn, ensures only the highest quality of students sent through commencement and out into the working field.

Message from the 2022-2023 President, Nicci D. Tiner

As we celebrate the 125th year of civil engineering at the University of Arkansas, we also celebrate the 42nd year of the Arkansas Academy of Civil Engineering (AACE).  In talking with some of our charter members, I learned that Dr. Walt LeFevre was the driving force behind forming the AACE.  Dr. LeFevre called a group of prominent civil engineers to Fayetteville to attend a basketball game and listen to his vision.  The charter for AACE was signed on July 1, 1980.  Per Dr. LeFevre’s vision, this group of 20 men committed $250 per year to assist the civil engineering students financially.  Additionally, they agreed to provide speakers to the students to share real world civil engineering experiences.
