A Letter from Dean Chang

Dear Alumni, Colleagues, Students, and Guests,

Welcome to the 2024 Columbia Engineering Reunion! Community is the heart of our institution, and now more than ever it is important for us to come together. I look forward to seeing you across campus and throughout Morningside Heights as you gather in your favorite places.

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for joining us this weekend. I extend my deepest appreciation to the Reunion Committees and the countless alumni volunteers who have worked tirelessly to create an exceptional program and ensure the success of this momentous occasion.

As you know, the past year has been challenging for Columbia and for universities across the country. I am grateful for all those who reached out to share support or concerns. It shows how deeply you care about Columbia and our community. In the spirit of that community, I'm thrilled to welcome you all to our Reunion weekend.

As we gather this weekend, we have a unique opportunity to reflect on our rich history while embracing the challenges and opportunities of the future. Our task now is to focus on building up our community. I’m pleased to report that Class Day and graduation were very successful and students and their families came together to celebrate this important milestone.

Engineering plays a pivotal role in shaping the world we live in, addressing pressing global challenges, and enhancing the human experience. At Columbia Engineering, we take great pride in our role within the university, the city, and the world. Our community of engineers is driven by a shared commitment to making a positive impact, advancing technological frontiers, and driving innovation.

I would also like to take a moment to congratulate the recipients of the 2024 Columbia Engineering Alumni Association (CEAA) medals. These esteemed alumni and faculty have exemplified excellence in their respective fields, and we are proud to honor their extraordinary achievements.

Once again, I extend my warmest welcome to each and every one of you. May this reunion be filled with cherished memories, invigorating conversations, and renewed connections. Thank you for being an integral part of the Columbia Engineering community. I am delighted to celebrate this milestone weekend with you.

With gratitude,

Shih-Fu Chang
Dean of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science and Morris A. and Alma Schapiro Professor of Engineering; and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
