Congratulations Profs Varma & Kanvinde for T.R. HIGGINS Lectureship award. Especially, thanks to @prof_varma for the fascinating talk on “SpeedCore and Steel-Concrete Composite Construction”. Over two decades of research on composite structure starting with CFST. #SSRC @aisc – at Montréal, Québec
Prof Kanvinde JUST delivered his 2022 Higgins Lecture on "Column Base Connections: Research, Design, and a Look to the Future" during the @aisc NASCC: The Steel Conference. Amit was joined by previous recipients of this prestigious award! So so many congratulations! @UCDavisCOE

Profs Ziemian & White have made pioneering contributions to the advancement of structural steel stability. Great role models for us. Glad to see my adviser Robert’s name on the screen as a TG member of AISC 341-22. That’s his last involvement & the end of an era!! #WeAreSteel
The 2021 and 2022 SSRC Beedle Award presentations were incredible and inspiring! Congratulations Ron Ziemian and Don White! Your contributions are immense. #NASCC22

Teaching in the classroom is such a joy. Even when speaking through a mask, which reduces the impact of facial expression and humor. Pleasure to see all the students bright and early and excited to learn! No greater joy for a teacher! @PurdueCE @PurdueEngineers @LifeAtPurdue
