A fundraising campaign led by ACI Past President David Lange, Kejin Wang, and several additional former students of Shah is aiming to raise an additional $25,000 from the concrete community to fully fund the S.P. Shah Fellowship through 2027.
“Professor Shah has been so generous and dedicated to his students, industry partners, and now to the ACI Foundation,” stated Lange. “He has had a profound impact on numerous careers in the concrete industry. We have a deep gratitude for everything he has done as an advisor and mentor.”
Details on applying for the ACI Foundation’s inaugural S.P. Shah Fellowship will be announced in mid-2021. To contribute toward fully funding the fellowship, visit the “Giving” section of ACIFoundation.org.
