The College of Engineering’s “Dynamic Duo”
Welcome to spring College of Engineering eNewsletter!
In the eight months since I was given the honor of leading the CoE, I continue to be surprised, almost on a daily basis, about the level of talent existing here in this college, as I continue to get to know my new colleagues.
Although I knew my tenure would be short, and I had been in leadership roles in three previous institutions before, the steep learning curve associated with running a new college and the urge to be able to contribute in a meaningful way could be daunting. Unless one is fortunate to be assisted by two experienced, sincere, hardworking, dedicated professionals as I have.
My predecessor, Nabil Grace, Ph.D., did a great job in recruiting Selin Arslan, Ph.D., associate dean for undergraduate studies, and Liping Liu, Ph.D., associate dean for graduate studies and research, respectively—two highly polished professionals and academics, whom I affectionately refer to as the College of Engineering’s “dynamic duo!”
These colleagues went out of their way to make my job look easy, and together we indeed accomplished a great deal in a short period of time. As I am looking at the exit now, in a short few months, I have full confidence that with Liu and Arslan, the college will always be in good hands.
