Paul Harlick

Paul Harlick was a UW engineering student who died while pulling a prank on campus. The Engineering Society presents an award in his name.

The Prank
Paul Harlick died while scaling the General Services Complex smokestack. He was attempting to add "veins" to the stack in order to make it look like a penis. At some point, he lost his anchoring and fell to his death.

Paul Harlick Award
The Engineering Society established The Paul Harlick Award in order "to honour his memory and remind us of the spirit that he, as a class rep, helped foster in others."
