A Message from Acting Dean Yu-Ling Cheng

As National Engineering Month begins next week, U of T Engineering has plenty to celebrate. Your alma mater continues to produce world-class research and well-trained alumni who are solving some of the most critical problems of our time. From the recent graduates embarking on an exciting startup venture that could revolutionize digital security, to the three alumni whose achievements were recently recognized by OSPE, U of T engineers from all generations are building businesses and developing innovations that make the world a better place.

As you’ll see in this issue, our alumni directly impact students’ lives by funding scholarships, supporting clubs and by inspiring them with their career successes. I’d like to commemorate National Engineering Month by saying thank you for your support, involvement and enduring Skule spirit.
