Knowles Named 2006 COSAM Distinguished Alum
Knowles founded Metrologic Instruments in 1968, and continues to be a driving force behind the development of new technologies there, as well as serving as Chairman of the Board. Knowles and his wife, Janet, began the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation in 1999. The foundation strengthens the quantity and quality of high school science and mathematics teaching in the U.S.; awards fellowships which include stipends, mentoring and professional guidance; and supports research for improving science and mathematics teaching. Knowles is the third to receive this honor; joining David Hagan '65 and Don Logan '66. The award is given to a candidate who has achieved significant stature in their chosen field, whether business, academic, military or government and who demonstrates a history of commitment to Auburn University and COSAM. |
The College of Sciences and Mathematics recently honored C. Harry Knowles, Physics '51 with its Distinguished Alumnus Award.
