Dear colleagues,
I hope you had a wonderful summer. As the new semester begins, I’m pleased to introduce Inside SoE, our new monthly newsletter for School of Engineering faculty and staff.
Each month, we will share community news, celebrate the accomplishments of our faculty and staff, and highlight School-wide opportunities and events. I hope Inside SoE will help all of us feel more informed, connected, and engaged with colleagues across our School.
Best Regards,
Paula T. Hammond
