Cooperative Engineering Program Announcement –
From David Borrok, Vice Provost and Dean – Missouri S&T
“I am writing to let you know that Dr. Theresa Odun-Ayo has accepted our offer to become the next Director of the S&T-MSU Cooperative Engineering Program. We plan to have Theresa start on July 15. She will certainly have big shoes to fill, as Doug has done a great job in this role for a long time. Thank you, Doug! Doug will be working closely with Theresa over the summer and Dean Jahnke, me, and our department chairs at S&T will remain engaged and ensure a smooth transition. I’m really looking forward to the continued success of the program and hope we can grow it and expand our activities in Springfield in the future. I really appreciate your hard work in helping to build such a successful collaboration.”
Congratulations, Theresa!
Doug – Thank you for your leadership!
