Recent events:

  1. Input for the New Dean Search: Minha R. Ha (the Graduate Student Rep to the Decanal Search Committee) facilitated two consultation sessions with graduate students from EECS, Civil, and Mechnical Engineering departments (ESSE could not be arranged). The departmental GSA execs from each of these departments did a great job with the communication and organization of these sessions. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in person, and contributed amazing insights. Written feedback will continue to be collected via the survey until early January 2018: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DeanLassonde
