ICT congratulates Marshall Thompson, Professor Emeritus of the UIUC transportation group, on being extended honorary membership in Chi Epsilon, the national civil engineering honor society that was founded at the University of Illinois in 1922. Chi Epsilon seeks to promote the values of scholarship, character, practicality, and sociability in its members and the profession of civil engineering.
To recognize prominent faculty, community members, and graduates, Chi Epsilon chapters initiate honorary members. These honorees, such as Marshall Thompson, have exemplified the ideals of Chi Epsilon and have already played an important role in their university’s Chi Epsilon chapter.
