In the spring, June Ling was named the recipient of the 2003 American Society for Testing and Materials International's W.T. Cavanaugh Memorial Award.

Other than ASME's Melvin R. Green Codes and Standards Medal, the Cavanaugh Award is perhaps the most prestigious honor to be awarded within the codes and standards community.

The award is granted to a person of widely recognized eminence in the voluntary standards system. The title of Honorary Member is bestowed upon recipients of the award. No more than two award recipients in a calendar year are named to receive the W.T. Cavanaugh award.

Ling received the award for her "outstanding leadership and the tireless promotion of technically sound and market-relevant U.S.-developed voluntary consensus standards as international standards."

Ling was the only person chosen by the ASTM's board of directors to receive the 2003 award. Her longtime mentor and associate at ASME, Mel Green, received the award in 1992.

This award, established in 1987, honors W.T. Cavanaugh, who established ASTM International as a leader in the development and dissemination of voluntary consensus standards during his service as chief executive officer from 1970 until his death in 1985.

Former ASME President Winfred M. Phillips received the Benjamin Garver Lamme Award from the American Society of Engineering Educators (ASEE) for outstanding contributions to engineering education. Phillips received the honor at the society's annual conference last month in Nashville, Tenn.

The Lamme Award is bestowed upon a distinguished engineering educator for contributions to the art of teaching, contributions to research and technical literature, and achievements that contrib-
ute to the advancement of the profession of engineering college administration.

Phillips, who served as chair of AAES for the year 2002, is a Fellow of ASME and several other associations and professional societies.

Phillips was the recipient of ASME's Dedicated Service Award, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology's Linton E. Grinter Distinguished Service Award, and AAES's National Engineering Award.

A member of ASME since 1974, Phillips is the author of more than 165 research publications. His personal research and teaching interests include mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics and biomedical engineering.

He served as president of ASME during 1998-99.
