A second publication on the history of the
Department is still a work in progress. Geoff Hulse
continues to find new material in the archives which
he is fleshing out to personalize our history.
Completing the job will take a lot more work, but he
has devoted and will devote a lot of time and energy
to it.
In 2003 we hired Associate Professor Barbara
Wyslouzil and two excellent staff persons, Angela
Jones as Graduate Coordinator and Mary Lamont as
Academic Advisor, and the process to change our
name to Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering was
begun. Our name change became official recently
with much more detail about this appearing on our
web page: http://www.chem.eng.ohio-state.edu/
We also hired John Corn, who was an Engineer at
Ashland Chemical, as an Instructor with the responsibility
of teaching our Unit Operations course during
the school year as well as the summer Unit
Operations Laboratory. More of John’s early
experiences with the Department appear elsewhere in
the Newsletter.
Finally I have been most impressed with the level of
financial support that our alumni provide to the
department every year and through special gifts which
have resulted in endowed scholarships for our
undergraduates and professorships and chairs for our
faculty. This support allows the department to pursue
excellence in its everyday activities and is often the
difference between an activity hard pressed to
accomplish and a first class success that we can all be
proud of. Thank you very much for all of your
support. Please feel free to call, to send us an email
or to stop by if it is convenient. Wishing you all the
best.
