Wins EPA STAR Grad Fellowship:

As one of the top 7% of applicants, Environmental Engineering

graduate student Sharon Walker will receive an EPA STAR

Graduate Fellowship that will provide her with complete support

for three years of Ph.D. studies. She will do research on the

transport and adhesion of bacteria in subsurface environments.

Her faculty adviser is Prof. Menachem Elimelech, ChE & EnvE.

 
DoD Science Grad Fellowship for double major:

Saul Rosser '01, graduating with a double major in ME and CS,

has received a ~$60,000, three-year Department of Defense

Graduate Fellowship. Rosser, who was accepted by all the graduate

programs he applied to (Michigan, Virginia Tech, and MIT), will

study ocean engineering at MIT.

Honored by Tau Beta Pi, chooses Stanford:

Jesse Hwang '01, ME, was awarded a $10,000 Tau Beta Pi

Fellowship for graduate study (204 engineering-majors applied and

35 received awards for high scholarship, campus leadership and service,

and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession).

Hwang chose to accept the much larger Stanford University Graduate

Engineering Fellowship for graduate study at Stanford (he was

admitted by a number of other universities, including UC Berkeley

and MIT). He retains the title of "Tau Beta Pi Fellow 2001-02."

NSF Grad Fellowship:

Charles Hardy '01, ChE, will use his ~$72,000, three-year NSF

Graduate Fellowship for graduate study of civil and environmental

engineering at Stanford (he was also accepted at a number of other

universities, including Harvard, UT-Austin, UNC-Chapel Hill,

Duke, and UC-Berkeley).

ENAS Grad Admissions Committee admits 29:

Our Graduate Admissions Committee reviewed over 540 applications

and chose 27 students (12 from the US and 17 from Europe and Asia)

to join our graduate Engineering and Applied Science program.

The distribution is as follows AP-5; BME-6, ChE-6, EE-7; EnvE-3, ME-5.

Admissions Committee members were professors

Jerry Woodall, EE & AP;

John Walz, ChE; Wei Tong, ME;

Robert Grober, AP;

Robert Schoelkopf, AP;

Janet Pan, EE;

Lawrence Staib, Diagnostic Radiology & EE;

Menachem Elimelech, ChE & EnvE;

Prof. Daniel Prober, AP & Physics, chaired the Committee.

When you get your Yale degree, you will be...?

Yale alumnus, if you are a man,

Yale alumna, if you are a woman,

Yale alumni, if referring to several men,

Yale alumnae, if referring to several women.

Yale alumni, if referring to both genders,

   Why all those endings?

   Because we use Latin and that's how it is in Latin.
