Robinson Director of Athletics HONORARY DEGREE M. DAVID EGAN DOCTOR OF LAWS Clemson University Professor Emeritus M. David Egan is a distinguished educator, lecturer, author and consultant. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, he earned his undergraduate degree from Lafayette College in 1962 and his master's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966. From 1962 to 1964, he served as a U.S. Army officer commanding Ordnance troops in the Foret de Trois-Fontaines, France. In 1972, Professor Egan joined Clemson's faculty in the School of Design and Building. Because of his dedication, expertise and professionalism in the classroom and consulting, he gained the reputation for being a leader. For more than 30 years, Professor Egan has excelled as an educator in the areas of architectural acoustics, lighting, fire and life safety, and low-energy design. He has authored six major textbooks and several sections in reference books for architects and engineers. His textbooks are not only a part of Clemson's curriculum but also curricula of more than 200 schools worldwide. Professor Egan's service to Clemson University has placed him in high regard among his professional and collegiate peers and has brought credit and recognition to the University and the School of Design and Building. Principally through his teaching, writing and consulting on acoustics, his contributions to education and architecture are universally recognized. His numerous awards include advancement to Fellowship in the Acoustical Society of America, election as vice president of the National Council of Acoustical Consultants, board certification by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering, honorary membership in the American Institute of Architects and recognition as Lifetime Distinguished Professor of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. A testament of Professor Egan's dedication to public service and justice is the story of his untiring efforts to obtain recognition for three forgotten heroes of the Vietnam War. It took nine years, but Professor Egan's remarkable leadership, determination and resourcefulness brought the effort to a successful conclusion. On March 6, 1998, 30 years after the shameful massacre at My Lai, the U.S. Army awarded Soldier's Medals to Hugh C. Thompson Jr., Lawrence M. Colburn and Glenn U. Andreotta (posthumously) for their intervention to save lives of defenseless civilians and end the massacre. Professor Egan embodies those ideals that Clemson University values. His wide recognition and respect as a humanitarian, an author and an educator place him in a unique position to represent Clemson and its mission to audiences throughout the world. Clemson University holds. Professor Emeritus Martin David Egan and his lifetime achievements in the highest esteem, and it is a distinct privilege to honor him with the presentation of the Doctor of Laws.
