From the Dean

We are partnering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, two of our endowed professors have been named fellows by an esteemed professional society, and an alumnus has been recognized by the governor. Further, we honored exceptional staff members for their outstanding contributions to the academic and research efforts in the college.

These accolades are indicative of the culture of excellence we’ve worked hard to establish in the college. Important partners in this effort have been the alumni and friends of the college who support us philanthropically. They are critical to our mission. Many of these supporters elect to make a special contribution to the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences at this time of the year. Such gifts help us recruit, retain and reward top talent, while providing exemplary experiences for our students. Thanks to all of you who are our philanthropic partners.

I wish you a holiday filled with family, friends and fellowship.

Sincerely,

Anand Gramopadhye, Dean
College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences
