Spring 2018

From the Chair's chair ...

Things have been moving forward in Farrall Hall. Spring is hardly here and BAE Showcase is just around the windy corner!

Speaking of BAE Showcase, something we all look forward to each year, it's scheduled for April 26, 2018, this year. Just like in 2017, we will host the industry luncheon, capstone presentations, poster session, and reception in our own Farrall Hall - closer to home! All day activities for BE Showcase are free and open to the public, with the exception of the luncheon, which requires an advance signup and RSVP. For complete details, including parking instructions, please see the full BE Showcase program in the Student Focus section. We look forward to the event and seeing everyone.

In this BAE Newsletter you will see that we highlight our students, you will notice student awards, 2018/19 scholarship winners, and a few other awards. We are very proud of what our students accomplish each year and it is great that we have the chance to announce these awards to everyone.

SOMETHING NEW: We now have a BAE Store. A place so that you can get your own BAE "stuff". We only have a couple items now to see how it goes; we will expand as we can. All proceeds will go to support our students. And if you have ideas for other things that we can include in our store, let us know. So shop early and often! www.egr.msu.edu/bae/baestore

So, what are y'all up to? We would like to include a "What's Up with our Alums....Alumni News" section in these quarterly e-newsletters, so drop us a line and let us know what you have been up to lately.

Please stop by Farrall Hall, or invite me to visit you, so that I can learn about you, your BAE past, present and future.

Thank you for all you do out there to increase the Brand of BAE; it is YOUR EFFORTS as our wonderful alumni that increases our stock price....so THANK YOU!

Thanks for the opportunity to serve,
Darrell W. Donahue
Professor and Chair
