The Region 4 Assembly, which includes members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
in the states of Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and

Region 4. A Younger Member is defined as a member, associate member, or affiliate of ASCE (not

The award is named after Daniel V. Terrell of the Kentucky Section. Terrell was Dean of the University
of Kentucky College of Engineering and President of ASCE on the Society level in 1954. This award
is presented annually for the outstanding paper submitted on a topic established by the Region 4
Assembly. The winner of the D.V. Terrell award receives Society and peer acclaim as well as an
impressive bronze plaque and cash prize in recognition of the time and effort put into this competition.
If one chooses to enter the Daniel V. Terrell competition, the paper must be submitted to the Terrell
Committee, by the entrant’s Section President, by March 1, 2020. Two (2) papers per Section may be
entered in the Daniel V. Terrell Paper Competition. The entrant must then present their paper during
the Spring 2020 Meeting of the Region 4 Assembly on March 27 – 29, 2020 in Asheville, North
Carolina. Financial assistance to travel and attend this meeting (i.e. travel stipend) may be available
from the entrant’s Section and/or Branch and should be requested by the entrant to their respective
Section/Branch (entrant’s registration and award dinner is covered by Region 4). Travel arrangements
