Thank you for helping us celebrate 100 years!

 

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering hosted its Centennial Celebration Sept. 26-27, 2013. Hundreds of alumni, faculty, staff and students joined in several spectacular events: research symposium/graduate student poster session at Howe Hall, game watch at Jack Trice Club, ribbon cutting at Sweeney Hall as well as tours at Sweeney Hall and Biorenewables Research Laboratory, alumni luncheon at Scheman Building, and banquet at the Memorial Union. On this webpage, we recap the Centennial Celebration through photos, signage, and presentations associated with each event. Thank you to Koch Industries for their corporate support. And, thank you for your support in making it a great success!
