Remembering Denise

It was a bittersweet moment. Faculty, staff, alumni and friends gathered outside of Atwater Kent in late April for a noontime ceremony to dedicate a memorial plaque to Denise Nicoletti, professor of electrical and computer engineering, who passed away last year as a result of a car accident. The Denise Nicoletti Trustees' Award for Service to the Community was established this year to remember her legacy as a role model and as a mentor, especially to young women exploring the world of engineering. The first recipient of the award is James P. O'Rourke, electrical engineer manager in the ECE Department, to honor his commitment to the enrichment of others.
