Congratulations to all 2024 College of Engineering graduates!
This year’s College convocation ceremony, held on May 2, 2024 at the Jon M. Huntsman Center, recognized the dedication and hard work of all our graduating Ph.D, Masters, and undergraduate students. Additionally, the long-serving leader of the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering, Dean Richard Brown presided over this annual event likely for the last time: as recently announced, Dean Brown is relinquishing his two-decade role as dean, with Dr. Charles Musgrave has been appointed as his successor, effective July 1, 2024.
Department of Biomedical Engineering Chair, Dr. David Grainger, was recognized for recent Fellow designation with the National Academy of Inventors (full story here).
