This semi-annual publication was begun in the Fall of 2011, with the intent of connecting with alumni and current students of our department. These newsletters highlight important events and accomplishments of our faculty, students, and alumni so that we can share in each others success stories. In each issue, we feature one or two alumni, a retired and current faculty member, and accomplishments of our current graduate and undergraduate students. Let us know what you think, send us an email with your comments and feedback about our newsletter.
