Centennial Celebration Touches Entire College Family

The College's Centennial Celebration may be over, but it will not soon be forgotten. It was memorable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it encouraged alumni, faculty, staff, and students to work with one another and get to know one another in new ways.

The Celebration took place over the course of the 1993/94 academic year and encompassed a number of special events. The fall semester witnessed a 2-day Centennial Symposium, which included a student research fair and a plenary session devoted to the Future of Engineering Education, and a special homecoming observance.

Spring semester activities included an expanded E-Days, a program commemorating the planning and construction in the 1960s of the Engineering Center, a Centennial Ball following the annual Distinguished Annual Alumni Awards banquet, and a very special ceremony recognizing 100 individuals for "conspicuous contributions to the College, the engineering profession, engineering education, or society during the College's first 100 years."

Our Centennial Celebration will be remembered as an appropriate way not only to acknowledge the College's first 100 years of accomplishment but to anticipate the challenges and successes that will characterize its second century of service.
