Magill Lecture with Jamey Barbas '81BC, '83SEAS
Mary C. Boyce, dean of The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, cordially invites you to the Magill Lecture with Jamey Barbas '81BC, '83SEAS, project manager of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The Magill Lecture in Science, Technology and the Arts was established to be an ongoing exploration of the synergy between art and science and a celebration of the pioneers who bridge the gap between artistic and scientific endeavors. It is made possible through the generosity of Dr. Frank N. Magill.
The lecture will be followed by a Navigating Your Network reception connecting students, faculty, and alumni with members of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE & GradSWE).
