Previous Recipient Testimonials
"I received the Eric T. Andresen Memorial Scholarship from the Golden Gate Chapter in 2007 and used those funds to buy the laptop I did all of my doctoral work on. I've been involved with ASHRAE ever since, taking on increasingly larger roles over the years. I'm genuinely grateful for that early support, which helped set me on a path to where I am today as a member of the ASHRAE Board of Directors." - Carrie Brown, PhD, Director-at-Large, ASHRAE Board of Directors
