John J. Gallen Memorial Award

VU Engineering LogoThe John J. Gallen Memorial Award was instituted in 1977 in honor of John J. Gallen, Dean of the College of Engineering from 1961 to 1975.

The Gallen Award recognizes the achievement of those whose technical effort yields advances in the engineering profession. The emphasis is on the technical contributions rather than on administrative or management leadership, although the recipient may demonstrate these qualities as well. The recipient must have graduated from the College of Engineering less than fifteen years ago and must have maintained a positive interest in promoting the name and programs of Villanova’s College of Engineering.
