Our greatest asset is our people –faculty, students, staff, alumni and friends– and their devotion to enhancing our vision and mission. This week we announce the appointment of three academic leaders: Susan McCahan for a second term as Chair, First Year; Farid N. Najm Chair of ECE; and Jean W. Zu Chair of MIE. These three highly accomplished educators and scholars are committed to educating global engineers, advancing our leading position in research and education, and fostering our global reputation for excellence and innovation. On behalf of the Faculty, I express our gratitude and appreciation to Professors Jonathan Rose and Tony Sinclair who complete their tenure on June 30. I also extend heartfelt thanks to the advisory committees in these appointments. In celebration of academic leadership, this Newsletter is devoted to introducing our most recently appointed academic leaders to the Engineering community.
