John H. Dudley

Brig. Gen. John Henderson Dudley joined CSULB in 1960 as a civil engineering professor after an illustrious military career. A 1930 graduate of West Point, who went on to earn a master’s degree in engineering from MIT, Dudley used his engineering skills to help build airfields and facilitate site selection for Los Alamos National Laboratory during World War II. Upon retiring from CSULB in 1970, he left a collection of geotechnical books to be housed in the John H. Dudley Library in the College of Engineering. In addition, a generous donation from Dudley, his wife Margery, and the Dudley Charitable Remainder Trust endows the John H. Dudley Scholarship.
