“This spectacular group of alumni represents the breadth and depth of the Auburn Engineering Family across four decades, and their expertise crosses several disciplines across the country,” said Kenneth Kelly, ’90 electrical engineering and chair of the council. “These are some of the most accomplished individuals in their fields, and they will bring a whole new perspective and voice to the table as we support Dean Roberts, the college and the best student-centered engineering educational experience in America.”

During the abbreviated meeting, the council received an update from Dean Christopher B. Roberts and addressed other matters to provide leadership and participation in areas such as academics, development, governmental affairs and public relations. The group also approved its slate of award winners, which will be presented during the fall banquet.

The Auburn Alumni Engineering Council’s next meeting is scheduled for homecoming weekend, Sept. 23-25.
