Georgia Institute of Technology engineering dean Gary S. May (M.S.’88, Ph.D.’91 EECS, 3rd from right), returned to campus in March to deliver the 2016 Kuh Lecture on broadening participation in STEM. Joining Deans Sastry and May were students (from left) Saaleha Bey, Dominique Fernandez, Haile Shavers, Phil Hunt and Camille Harris. The lecture (watch it on YouTube) was part of the daylong Berkeley Engineering Stars in Technology (BEST) workshop sponsored by the EECS department. This year, BEST brought attention to the accomplishments and challenges of African-American engineers. (Photo by Bruce Cook)
