the college in 1999 as director of the nationally recognized program,
now called Success in Engineering through Excellence and Diversity,
or SEED. With his return to the college comes a greater emphasis on
minority student recruitment and outreach to complement SEED's already
outstanding efforts to support and retain students in engineering.
