A Reflection - William Yeh I am profoundly honored and humbled to receive the 2003 Outstanding Alumni Award, and to be included in the same company as your distinguished past recipients. Needless to say I am very proud to be a Cheng Kung University alumnus. I would like to thank the Cheng Kung University Alumni Association of Southern California for nominating me for this very special award. I entered Cheng Kung University in 1956, majoring in Industrial Management Science. After the first year I changed my major to Civil Engineering and graduated in 1961. My undergraduate training at Cheng Kung University provided me with a good foundation for undertaking graduate studies in the U.S. I hold many fond memories of my alma mater and have gone back to Tainan to visit on numerous occasions. The most recent trip was in December 2000 to deliver a keynote speech in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Hydraulics Lab. The facilities as well as the lab’s researchers notably impressed me. Without doubt the lab ranks among the best in the world. Upon reflection I consider myself the beneficiary of both nurturing surroundings and exceptional people, and attribute any accomplishments in large part to them. Upon completing my PhD at Stanford University in 1967, I accepted a tenure-track position at UCLA. Since then I have been fortunate to enjoy the full support of this first-rate institution, inspiring colleagues, and outstanding students as I’ve pursued an academic career in teaching and research in the area of hydrology and water resources. Of these I am particularly grateful to my students for the mutual exchange of ideas over the years. I hope they have learned from me, and I know I have become a better scholar and person because of them. Of course I am most indebted to those who are closest to me – my wife Jennie and my two sons Michael and Bobby. Without their unconditional love and support I certainly would not be where I am today. It’s a joy to share the accompanying family photograph with you.
