I am pleased to announce the first of our monthly Faculty Social Hours, a series that is making its long-awaited return this semester. At our first event, we will be recognizing the recent accomplishments of two members of our Faculty: Sarah Kurtz, for her election to the National Academy of Engineering and her designation as a Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; and Jessica Trounstine, for being named to the 2022 Class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows.

Please join us for this opportunity to celebrate these significant achievements, socialize with other faculty and campus leaders, and enjoy some refreshments and appetizers. We hope to see you there!
