Dear alumni and friends,
Like all of you, we in the College of Engineering have been working hard to adapt to the curveball of COVID-19.
Universities are built on the principle of bringing people together in a high-density space for face-to-face, hands-on learning. COVID-19 restrictions mean we have to do just the opposite of that to keep our campus community safe.
It has presented challenges, but also new opportunities. Our faculty, staff and students have been incredible in their perseverance, flexibility and compassion as we all navigate this unprecedented time together.
In the pages ahead, you’ll see many of the ways our College has continued the life-changing work of education and research. In fact, many of our researchers have played prominent roles in helping during this pandemic, from modeling data to developing new technology that limits the spread of the virus and more.
These successes would not be possible without the tremendous support we receive from our alumni and friends around the world. Thank you for all you do to support the College of Engineering as we work to build a better world every day.
All my best,
Kim
Dean of Engineering
Kim LaScola Needy
