Greetings!
Welcome to the University of
Michigan, one of our country's great public
universities. Our university community is
committed to excellence in all our programs, which encompass a broad array of scholarly and
creative disciplines - and so many of them are
in the College of Engineering.
Our University, of course, does not operate in isolation, but within a
network of other prestigious research
universities, a state that supports us, and a
world that depends on our graduates and our
discoveries. Our global society - social, political, economic and technological - compels
us to recognize a teeming variety of values and
perspectives. Because of these shifts in the
social and technological landscape, the
frontiers of knowledge are continually
expanding. The single laboratory and the
solitary scholar are often supplemented by
collaborative endeavors. Academic discoveries
are emerging from the intersection of our
disciplines and will become more intertwined
with the world we serve. Our University, with
its highly ranked departments and prominent
scholars in so many fields, is well placed to
provide leadership as we move into the future.
The University of Michigan continues to define
the great public university of the world.
Our university community
is committed to excellence in all our programs, which encompass a broad array of scholarly and
creative disciplines - and so many of them are
in the College of Engineering.
The University is in the
midst of a major fundraising campaign to
support the forward momentum of our students, faculty and staff. Our donors, many of them
alumni, are providing critical funding for
student scholarships and fellowships, for
faculty chairs, for new and expanded programs, and for the next generation of facilities that
will enhance our academic endeavors. The fruits
of this campaign already are evident across the
College of Engineering, with new laboratories
and buildings, increased financial aid for
students, and support for faculty. Our campaign
is "The Michigan Difference," and every day, I
become more aware of how profound that
difference is - for our students, our alumni, and the world we serve.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President
University of Michigan
