Memorial Scholarship
JOEL COFFEY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Robert “Joel” Coffey was born in Laramie, Wyoming in 1945, and graduated with honors with a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wyoming in 1980. He became a Professional Land Surveyor in 1984 and a Professional Engineer in 1987. Joel joined the Wyoming Chapter of the National Society of Professional Engineers and served as the Wyoming Chapter President from 1990 to 1991. He was an active member of the Wyoming Engineering Society from 1983 until his death in 2004, when Joel’s son Dave took over the family engineering and surveying business. Joel considered himself lucky to live in the great state of Wyoming, and was proud to call Laramie his home. His love of the land was reflected in his love of Land Surveying. He is missed every day.
The Joel Coffey Memorial Scholarship was created to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of an honored alumnus of the University of Wyoming College of Engineering. The scholarship celebrates the life of a successful Laramie-based surveyor and civil engineer, father and friend. It is the hope of Coffey Engineering & Surveying – and the entire Coffey family – that Joel's passion and vision live on through this scholarship, which is intended to encourage and enable students to pursue excellence in civil engineering at the University of Wyoming.
University of Wyoming undergraduate students enrolled in the Civil Engineering program are eligible to apply for the Joel Coffey Memorial Scholarship.
