Walter J. Weber, Jr.

The Walter J. Weber, Jr. Distinguished Lecture in Environmental and Energy Sustainability brings one of the world’s foremost experts in environmental engineering and science to campus each year to share the results of their work and their vision for the future.

This seminar is made possible through the endowment to the University by the 1996 Athalie Richardson Irvine Clark Prize awarded to Professor Walter J. Weber, Jr. by the National Water Research Institute for Outstanding Accomplishments in Water Science and Technology.

During his 46-year career at the University of Michigan, Dr. Weber made numerous significant contributions to the field of environmental engineering as a scientist, educator, and mentor. In 2008, he was chosen as one of the “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era” by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in honor of his many career accomplishments.
