A Message From Dean Kraig Olejniczak ’87 EE
In this edition of Valpo Engineer, we are pleased to feature Mikko Lipasti ’91 ECE and Scott Sanders ’97 ME, associate professors at the University of Wisconsin, who have received national and international honors. Many of our students and faculty also are recognized nationally and internationally for their accomplishments. Their achievements are directly related to the advances in programming made by the College of Engineering over the years. A strong engineering program needs an appropriate facility, however. The planned addition to Gellersen Center will help draw students, the best qualified faculty and enhance the reputation of all Valpo engineering alumni by educating values-based leaders who are able to rapidly progress in their careers. Thank you for supporting your COE!
Please feel free to give me a call at 219.464.5085 or send an e-mail to kraig.olejniczak@valpo.edu.
