grad_picnic_001The department’s Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) hosted a barbecue to introduce our new graduate students and welcome in the new semester. Students took a break from courses and research to mingle with each other, faculty and department staff, while enjoying the delicious specials from the grill. Our department has an excellent and diverse group of grad students; 94 Chemical Engineering PhD students, 17 Chemical Engineering MS students, and 44 Petroleum Engineering MS students. We look forward to the years ahead with our new students- great things are to come!
