Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

In the past few months, we have had a lot to celebrate at the Gordon Engineering Leadership Program.

 

On April 12th, we hosted the formal dedication of the Bernard M. Gordon Tribute to Engineering Leadership. Attendance included Bernie Gordon, over 40 Gordon Fellows and Gordon Fellow Candidates, and many of the faculty and friends who make this program possible. We thank everyone who was able to participate in this special day.

 

In addition, our current Gordon Fellows Candidates have been honored with a number of significant academic and industry honors. Some of their success stories are detailed below. I hope you'll join me in celebrating the achievements of these burgeoning engineering leaders!

 

Sincerely,



Simon Pitts
Director, Gordon Engineering Leadership Program
