Fall 2007 EDay

Alumni Volunteers Needed!

The annual Herff College of Engineering Open House will be held Friday, November 16, 2007 from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Last year, we had an excellent turnout of alumni volunteers, and we hope to see even more of you this year. Alumni were available in the Civil labs and hallway to greet prospective students and to answer questions about the program, and also served as tour guides to student groups. This is an invaluable service to our department, as prospective students and their parents are always very impressed by the level of participation from our alums. This is a great opportunity to support the department! If you would like to be a volunteer for this year’s event, please email Stephanie Ivey at ssalyers@memphis.edu with your contact information and time that you would like to attend.

Ms. Beverly McMillan was awarded The University of Memphis Outstanding Employee Award for the 3rd quarter of 2007. Bev is always a reliable and reassuring professional, dedicated to the faculty and her profession. Her positive attitude and commitment to the students is demonstrated each semester with her personal attention to each student, reminding them of scholarship opportunities and coaching them in professional dress and behavior before their interviews. She also serves as part of the recruiting team for the entire Herff College of Engineering, with tireless contributions of time and energy to Engineering Open House each year, and greets each potential student, parent, and teacher with a smile.  Congratulations, Bev!
