Founding Chair & Dean Emeritus, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

“I was too busy to be overwhelmed. We had no dedicated space for classes or laboratories, and yet we fostered a strong sense of community. Each Friday, faculty and I would make gallons of coffee and bring countless bags of bagels for the students who took a chance on a young School of Engineering. I was committed to knowing each of them, their aspirations and helping prepare them to work within the local businesses and industries that invested in the School. We achieved accreditation, established a critical graduate program and did all we could to let people know the VCU School of Engineering was in business. With a well-constructed curriculum, we gave students the opportunity to jump right into rigorous, engineering-specific courses. When quality faculty members came to us, wanting to be a part of our success, I knew we were moving in the right direction.”
