Message from Magnus
This is the last newsletter for the academic year, and I would like to take the opportunity to briefly reflect on my first year as the Stacey Nicholas Dean of Engineering at UCI. I have very much enjoyed getting to know the extended Samueli School family, including our faculty, students and staff, our passionate and proud alumni, and our corporate partners who are so important to our strategic mission. Wherever I have gone, I have felt welcomed and supported, and I could not have asked for a better introduction to the Anteater engineering community. But, without a doubt, the most joyous part of the past year has been to see our students returning to campus, to see our classrooms, makerspaces and labs come alive, and to be given a daily reminder of what we are ultimately all about - amazing people who, thanks to their experiences in the Samueli School of Engineering, go out into the world to make a difference as researchers, educators, policy makers, entrepreneurs or industry leaders.
Best,
Magnus Egerstedt, Ph.D.
