SRE hosted its New Faculty Orientation on August 16, 2016. The new team members were welcomed by members of the SRE Leadership team, including Nick Breyfogle, Linda Weavers, Robyn Wilson, Erich Grotewold, Rob Greenbaum, Elena Irwin, and Joseph Fiksel. Speakers at the orientation included Vice Provost for Academic and Strategic Planning Mike Boehm, as well as Office of Energy and Environment Director Kate Bartter.
Following the more formal portion of the Orientation was an informal luncheon geared towards acquainting the new faculty with other engaged SRE faculty. The luncheon also included a game of volleyball, where both existing and new faculty were able to showcase their athletic prowess.
SRE is very pleased to welcome our new faculty to our driven and collaborative team!
