On August 12-14, the department celebrated its
100th birthday, with a centennial celebration that drew more than 300
alums, guests and friends. They came to Madison from around the world
(literally) to reminisce, renew old friendships and learn about the past,
present and future of the Chemical and Biological Engineering department at
UW-Madison. The program opened with a reception Friday evening at Memorial
Union, looking out over a beautiful view of the Union Terrace and Lake Mendota.
The following morning Bob Bird told us about the history of the department,
Harmon Ray highlighted the accomplishments of its alumni and Jim Rawlings showed
where the department is today and how it is moving forward into its second
century. On Saturday evening, 400 alums, guests, faculty and current grad
students and postdocs packed into the Great Hall at Memorial Union for a banquet
and program with master of ceremonies Juan de Pablo. On Sunday, alums were on
their own to enjoy a gorgeous day in Madison.
Our thanks go out to everyone who participated in
this event and especially to all the people who worked so hard to make it
happen!
