Fiscal Year 2020-2021
I M PA C T O F P H I L A N T H R O P Y espite the extraordinary challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic this past year, the College of D Engineering continued its focus on excelling student success and the academic quality of our programs. Philanthropic support from generous people like you helped us attract the most promising students and faculty to our campus, opened doors to life-changing opportunities such as research programs and student club projects, and provided financial resources through scholarships. Whether you supported a program, a scholarship, or other areas across the College; you made a difference. You are empowering our students to build the skills, knowledge, and expertise they need to become the engineers of the future! The College of Engineering is very fortunate to have strong donor support, particularly as we prioritize the growth of our College’s endowment, which directly benefits our students and faculty. Thank you for your continued support of the College. We look forward to resuming full time in-person instruction in Fall 2021 and hope to see you on campus soon. Gratefully, Eugene A. Olevsky, Ph.D. Dean, College of Engineering
