<p class=MsoNormal>To all Faculty and Staff:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am very please report that Academic Affairs has allocated
its new equipment budget (lottery funds) for the 2010-2011 academic year and
the College of Engineering has received a total of $ 1,586,501! this is the
largest allocation ever made to the College of Engineering, exceeding the $1.38
million received in 2006-2007. This is a significant investment by the
University in the College of Engineering and will allow for some transformative
changes, especially in the area of the student fabrication facilities,
significantly increasing our capacity for digital machining.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Over the next few days, departments will be provided a
listing of equipment that can be purchased using these funds. The list is
based upon the rank order established by each department and chair. Please
work with Darrell and Jacqueline as you begin submitting purchase requisitions.
The number of requisitions that will be processed is clearly extensive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Again, I am delighted by the University’s investment in
Engineering and thank Academic Affairs for their support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
