School of Engineering Infinite Mile Awards

Congratulations to the 2011 recipients.
WELCOME BY DEAN IAN WAITZ


It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the School’s Eleventh Annual Infinite Mile Awards Celebration.   Today we will present Infinite Mile Awards to seven individuals and two teams.  We will also present two Ellen J. Mandigo Awards for Outstanding Service.

Our thanks to the SoE department heads and center and laboratory directors for their help in coordinating the nomination process, and to those of you who took the time to nominate your coworkers and colleagues.  Your thoughtful contributions make this celebration possible. 

This is truly a team effort for your Dean’s Office.  The selection committee this year was comprised of Associate Dean, Professor Cindy Barnhart and our two Assistant Deans Eileen Ng-Ghavidel and Donna Savicki.  I would also like to recognize and thank the members of the Dean’s Office staff who helped organize this event.  They are Chad Galts, Mary Anne Gowen, Lisa Magnano Bleheen, Tia Giurleo, Maria Marangiello, Katie Smakula and Brian Tavares.

Finally, my thanks to all of you for taking the time to share in this joyful and inspirational event.  I look forward to talking with you over refreshments after the awards have been presented.
