The ISE Department kicked off the 2015 homecoming weekend at NC State with a variety of events that included a panel discussion on the future of smart grid technology. That was followed by an opportunity for alumni and students to reconnect and talk about the current research going on in the department.
In front of a capacity crowd consisting of students, faculty, alumni, families and friends the Department celebrated the life of ISE Distinguished Alumnus Fred Gant. Professor Stephen Roberts, former business partner Jim Davis, and Gant Scholars Ruby Bombien and Paul Whitley all shared how Fred and Beverly Gant had positively impacted their lives.
The program concluded with the presentation of the 2015 ISE Distinguished Alumnus Awards. This year’s class included Timothy Berkey and F. Scott Moody.
