Le Val Lund Lecture & Symposium

The Le Val Lund Lecture & Symposium are annual events held at both Caltech and University of Southern California on a rotating basis. The event intends to promote interaction between infrastructure professionals, community leaders, educational institutions, and researchers to further expand on infrastructure resiliency and community preparedness. 

​

Each year, ASCE Society awards a Global Le Val Lund Practice Award for Lifeline Risk Reduction, which was established to honor the late Le Val Lund, Jr., PE, M.ASCE, who was a recognized expert on protecting urban lifelines from natural and manmade disasters. Le Val Lund served as a great contributor to the infrastructure community, working 42 years for the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP), where he helped design, construct and operate many significant projects including the Second LA Aqueduct, dams, and filtration plants. With ASCE, Le Val Lund was one of the founders of the Metro LA Branch (MLAB), and valued industry professionals working closely with academia to further develop future generations of infrastructure stewards.

​

This year, the ASCE Metro LA Branch will be hosting the 7th annual Le Val Lund Lecture & Symposium on May 2, 2025 (TBD). More information will be shared soon.
