The University of Regina’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science recently celebrated a gift from Dr. Jack Mollard – a former adjunct lecturer and prominent philanthropic engineer – with a plaque unveiling honouring geotechnical pioneers and entrepreneurs. Dr. Mollard has donated more than $100,000 toward establishing the Dr. Jack Mollard Sensing the Earth Scholarship and the Dr. Jack Mollard Sensing the Earth Tour. "The Faculty is honoured to be associated with Dr. Mollard, a pioneer and a role model,” says Dr. Esam Hussein, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. “Dr. Mollard's contribution is not only monetary but is most importantly a reminder to us and to future generations of the importance of innovation, hard work, commitment and professionalism.”
