VANCOUVER — Professor Chad Bennington of the University of British Columbia, an active and dedicated member of the pulp and paper community for many years, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on February 14, 2010 at age 53. Sunny in disposition and optimistic by nature, he was passionate about the pulp and paper industry. In his short life he contributed much to it through his work in education and research. He is sorely missed by all who knew him.

To honour his memory, friends and colleagues are establishing an endowed Chad Bennington Memorial Scholarship for students at UBC involved in studies related to pulp and paper technology. Those who knew Chad are asked to please consider contributing in his memory at www.supporting.ubc.ca/chadbennington. For further information, contact Dick Kerekes, chair of the committee, at kerekes@chbe.ubc.ca.
