I had an incredible time reconnecting with my former students and other SMSE alumni in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this week. Best memories and “best” classroom experiences were reminisced … it was just surreal to have the opportunity to visit my former students at their own home city across the world. Many thanks to Samael Alblaihess and Samaher Alblaihess for organizing this memorable gathering; and thanks to all the alumni (and friends) who made time to come by to catch up after your busy day at work.

Just returned from an incredible experience at the SHPE 2024 National Convention in Anaheim, CA! I had the amazing opportunity to connect with so many talented individuals and inspiring leaders across various industries. Meeting representatives from some of the most innovative companies was truly eye-opening and motivating. Thank you, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) especially to our chapter presidents Paulina Gaitan and Alex Mohme, for making it possible to go and providing such a great platform to learn, grow, and network. #SHPE2024 #Networking #Innovation #STEM

This past weekend, the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers Club hosted the very first Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering Pickleball Tournament! I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of this event. It was amazing to see engineers and computer science students from all different majors step out of the labs and classrooms to get competitive on the courts! A huge thank you to everyone who participated—we couldn’t have done it without you. I’m excited to plan more social events like this in the future, giving students a fun and active break from their busy schedules. Here’s to many more opportunities to build community and unwind together!

It’s always a proud moment when our alumni return to campus to recruit the next generation of engineers, completing the circle of success. Last month, Madison Hirchag, Gabriel Tai, Kayla Constantino, Parker Robb, and Katherine Hawkyard (who isn’t pictured) represented their companies at the Engineering and Computing Fall Career Fair at the University of San Diego. This cherished tradition continues to thrive!

Check out the awesome accomplishments of our ISyE graduate, Livia Conlon (Jan ‘21). Super cool Naval pilot!!
