2014 Honor Roll of Donors 2014 Honor roll of Donors | 1 When we encourage a promising young person with a bright future, invest in a teacher or a technologist with a solution to a well-defined problem, or support a team that is prepared to tackle a significant challenge with energy, optimism and talent — a world of possibility unfolds. There is nothing more rewarding than turning ideas into action and making a difference in the world; and there is no organization more capable of delivering tangible, impactful results than IEEE. As the philanthropic arm of IEEE, the IEEE foundation inspires the generosity of donors to energize IEEE programs that improve access to technology, enhance technological literacy, and support technical education and the IEEE professional community. The IEEE foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in the United states, fulfills its purpose by • soliciting and managing donations • recognizing the generosity of our donors • awarding grants to IEEE grassroots projects of strategic importance • supporting high impact signature Programs • serving as a steward of donations that empower bright minds, recognize innovation, preserve the history of technology, and improve the human condition. With your support, and the support of donors worldwide, the IEEE foundation strives to be a leader in transforming lives through the power of technology and education.

Philanthropy Has the Power to Energize Effectively employed, philanthropy energizes the programs it funds, the organizations it impacts and the people it serves. As the philanthropic arm of IEEE, the IEEE foundation engages members and friends of IEEE in a partnership that transforms the knowledge and reach of IEEE into tangible and effective solutions. In 2015, we have energized and enhanced the collaboration between IEEE and the IEEE foundation to bring technology to people in need and plant Leah H. Jamieson the seeds for a bright future. In addition to supporting long-established IEEE programs, such as life Members, IEEE- Eta Kappa nu, IEEE-UsA, IEEE Awards, the IEEE History Center, and the IEEE foundation Grants Program, the foundation is committed to advancing four IEEE initiatives in the educational and humanitarian spheres – we call them our signature Programs. These signature Programs are gaining momentum - from attracting more than 500 scholars to study power engineering through the IEEE Power & Energy scholarship Plus Initiative to providing first-time access to renewable electrical systems in remote, off-grid communities around the globe through IEEE smart Village; from EPICs in IEEE creating partnerships that pair non-governmental organizations with IEEE volunteers, particularly IEEE student members, to develop solutions that improve their local communities – Barry Shoop, Ph.D., P.E. to rEACH, the IEEE History Center’s initiative to raise awareness among pre-university students of the influence technology has on society and culture throughout history. With your support, as well as the support of thousands of like-minded members and friends listed herein, the IEEE foundation is making a significant impact through high- performing IEEE programs. Critical advances enhance technology access, literacy and Donor Profiles education for individuals and communities throughout the world. for this, and your role 21 Nokia Bell Labs in making it possible, the undersigned leadership team and all who are engaged in the 29 Roberto Padovani daily work of advancing the mission of IEEE are sincerely appreciative. 31 Thomas E.

  • Fall 2019 Newsletter
    CHEMICAL ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER Purdue Chemical Engineering Hosts Varma Memorial Symposium FALL 2019 CHARLES D. DAVIDSON Excellence Excellence at Scale SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Cost-Effective Excellence at Scale MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD The words “pinnacle of excellence at scale” continue as the hallmark of Chemical Engineering at Purdue. With over 800 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in our School, our major moves and initiatives such as eight consecutive years of frozen tuition and enlistment of 94% of the graduating seniors as AICHE professional members, move the needle—literally and figuratively altering the trajectory of chemical engineering in the nation and the world. In this issue, we honor the memory and legacy of one man–Arvind Varma–who has done more than anyone else in the past 15 years to position Purdue Chemical Engineering to have such an impact. Highlights from the Arvind Varma Memorial Symposium and memorable moments from Arvind’s career are featured on pages 4‑8 of this newsletter. Arvind leaves a great void and will be missed by the entire Purdue Chemical Engineering community. Purdue Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Class of 2019 Graduating Seniors - 139 Sangtae "Sang" Kim Distinguished Professor Number of Women - 55 Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld Head of Chemical Engineering Number of Men - 84 Average Starting Salary - $76,934 As Purdue Grows, So Grows Chemical Engineering Enrollment at Purdue University's West Lafayette campus is the highest ever at 44,551 students, with 33,646 undergraduates. The Fall 2019 incoming class numbered 8,056 students, with 4,057 Indiana residents. Based on the high level of academic achievements and preparation, this year's class is Purdue's best to date.
