Two Grove City College students were recognized for their extracurricular achievements by the Pittsburgh Professional Chapter of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE.)

Benjamin Nolte ’16, an industrial management major from Hampton, Va., and Elizabeth Parsons ’16, a mechanical engineering major from Valencia, Pa., received Student Activity Member scholarships. They are both active in the College’s  student chapter of ASHRAE through their roles as president and vice president, respectively.

“I am very proud of the work that Liz and Ben put towards the ASHRAE student chapter over the past two years,” said Dr. Erik Bardy, professor of Mechanical Engineering and advisor to the student chapter.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability within the industry.

Grove City College’s Department of Mechanical Engineering Department prepares students to excel in careers in engineering research, design, manufacturing, production, sales and management, as well as top graduate and professional programs.
