National Concrete Pavement Technology Center Director Peter Taylor is among the nearly 70 Iowa State University faculty and staff who will be recognized for winning one of the university’s annual awards.

Taylor, who is also a research professor in the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering Department, is one of two faculty to receive the university’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Extension or Professional Practice.

The award recognizes a faculty or staff member who has demonstrated outstanding performance in statewide leadership in extension or professional practice and achieved national recognition for their contributions to outreach activities.

Additionally, Institute for Transportation Faculty Affiliate Simon Laflamme will be one of three recipients of the university’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Research, which recognizes a tenured faculty member who has a national or international reputation for outstanding career achievements in research or creative activity as evaluated by peers and experts in their field.

Taylor, Laflamme, and the other award winners will be honored at a community celebration slated for this fall. Learn more about all the awards and award winners from the Inside Iowa State article.
