The School of Chemical Engineering has formed an Academic Advisory Board, to seek input on academic issues that we face. It is expected to meet once annually, typically during the Spring semester. The membership term is three years. The inaugural Board meeting occurred during April 25-26, 2006.

Dr. Surya Mallapragada (Ph.D., 1996) was elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) for her "distinguished contributions to medical and biological engineering as well for demonstrated interest, concern, and involvement with critical issues affecting these fields."
