Dennis Marker Teacher of the Year Award

This award for faculty teaching excellence in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering is presented annually by the Associated General Contractors Student Chapter during Contractors Night and is a tribute to Dennis Marker’s personal dedication to educational excellence. Marker worked for CH2MHill in Corvallis as a geotechnical engineer, was an instructor in CCE, and was enrolled in the CCE doctoral program when he passed away suddenly in 1984 at the age of 44. Dennis was well-liked by all, was a good teacher, and was of great value to CCE.
