The new Gary Gann Scholarship, established in 2006 in memory of Gary Gann, former long-serving General Council for Matheson Tri-Gas, was presented to Sweta Ramachandran.  This year marks the first year of presentation of the scholarship, which awards $4,000 per year for students taking science, engineering or law courses who are also children of Matheson Tri-Gas employees.

This year's presentation took place in the company's Newark, California facility, and was attended by Matheson Tri-Gas President and CEO James Samples, Senior VP of Human Resources Jerry Cantrella, and Diana Gann, widow of Gary Gann after whom this scholarship has been named.  

Sweta Ramachandran will be attending the University of California at Berkeley majoring in Bioengineering-PreMed.  Ms. Ramachandran is the daughter of Matheson Tri-Gas employee Kavita Murthi, who is the Director of the company's SDS Sub-Atmospheric Gas Systems sector.
