Kathryn Laskey, professor of Systems Engineering and Operations Research, retires after 32 years at Mason. She reflects on her time at Mason, from when it was a little-known school to the thriving, globally credited research university it is today.

Last spring the college offered an interactive, discussion-based course that investigated the history of contributions by engineers marginalized by race or gender and studied cases where a lack of diversity contributed to adverse engineering consequences. 

In April, Mason professor Mohamed Gebril took a team of students to Commonwealth Cyber Initiative's BattleDrones Competition.

Professor Danny Menascé reflects on his thirty years in the Department of Computer Science as he approaches his retirement this May.

Students from eight universities competed in 10 tracks for honors at the 5th Annual Andrew P. Sage Memorial Capstone Design Competition on April 25.
