Professor Jack D. Compton, College of the Canyons
The Plummer Memorial Education Lecture Award has been established by the American Welding Society to recognize an outstanding individual who has made significant contributions to welding education and training, and to recognize Fred L. Plummer’s service to the society as president from 1952 to 1954 and executive director from 1957 to1969. The recipient of this award will deliver a lecture and receive this educational distinction.

This year’s presenter is Professor Jack D. Compton, of the College of the Canyons. His topic will be “Teaching Human Development Skills to Welders – 20 Years Later.” This talk will be based on the Plummer Lecture given by Richard Sabo 20 years ago, with perspective on what Mr. Sabo proposed in 1989 compared to the art and science of welding education today.
