Donald G. Wells Memorial Endowed Scholarship
About Donald G. Wells
Civil engineering professor emeritus Donald G. Wells passed away on May 1, 2014 following an extended illness. Affectionately known as “Water Wells,” he was a leader in the environmental and water resources group within the Department of Civil Engineering. A graduate of Stanford University, he joined the department in 1970 and retired in 2003.
During his enture at Cal Poly Pomona, Wells was instrumental in enhancing the department’s laboratory facilities. Wells was actively engaged in student extracurricular activities, both formal and informal. He served for many years as the faculty advisor for the Cal Poly Pomona chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and loved playing volleyball and other impromptu sports with his students. He set a very high standard for faculty-student rapport and mentorship, a legacy that continues to this day. His retirement party in 2003 will long be remembered for its outpouring of affection from his former students, many of whom have gone on to prestigious positions in industry and government.
