** Adem Calik, who moved from Turkey to Wichita shortly before the start of the fall 2001 semester, was a graduate student in aerospace engineering. He had finished all the coursework for his master’s degree when he was tragically killed in a car accident on August 28, 2002. At the time of his death, Calik was starting doctoral classes and preparing to defend his master’s thesis. His graduate research was for an Air Force grant dealing with hypersonics and magnetogasdynamics. In the previous year, Calik was awarded two graduate-level awards, the Dora Wallace Hodgson Outstanding First Year Graduate Fellowship — Master’s Level and the Dora Wallace Hodgson Summer Graduate Research Award. Members of the aerospace engineering faculty did the paperwork required to award him a posthumous graduate degree.
