From the dean

It’s been a whirlwind few months as I’ve met so many people and learned so much about our teaching, research and extension work and its impact on North Carolina. The warm welcome that I have received has confirmed for me that I’m in the right place, and I’m so excited to get to work building on our strengths and addressing our challenges with a goal of making this the best college of engineering it can be.
