Dear CEAE Alumni, Friends and Colleagues,

I’m writing to you as we finish up our first week back on campus for the Spring 2025 semester, excited to tell you about our programs and encourage you to join us in supporting the next generation of scholars.

As we begin 2025, I am reflecting on the first year of our newÌýStrategic Plan and our focus on Sustainability, Resilience and Inclusion. You, our vast network of alumni and friends and the students who have come before, have helped shape the legacy of this department. From late nights in the Engineering Center to the excitement of capstone presentations, the memories of shared challenges and camaraderie continue in the fabric of our community.Ìý We are proud of you and thrilled to have played a significant part in your life journey.

We believe in lifelong learning and I’m excited to share that we’ve expanded opportunities for professional growth through our Civil EngineeringÌýProfessional Master’s Program (PMP) with tracks inÌýArchitectural Engineering,ÌýWater Engineering & Management,ÌýGlobal Resilience and Sustainability Engineering, and a uniqueÌýCivil Engineering-Dual Track degree. Tailored for working professionals, these programs provide an excellent way to deepen your expertise or explore new areas—without the commitment of a research-focused master’s degree and, in some cases, from the comfort of home.

If you're looking to expand your professional knowledge and network through a PMP, we're here to support you. Don't wait! The application deadline for fall 2025 PMPs and MS degrees is Feb. 1. Need more information? ThenÌý for our Jan. 28Ìývirtual information session for prospective MS and PMP students.

Whether you’re pursuing a graduate degree or looking for other ways to stay connected, your involvement plays a vital role in shaping the future of CEAE. While CEAE is in an excellent position as one of the top-ranked departments in the nation, your support is critically important for sustaining this momentum. If you would like to support the department’s efforts, contributing to one of ourÌýgiving funds, which we use to support student enrichment, undergraduate scholarships and to attract, support and retain talented graduate students, is the easiest way.

I would also love to connect with you if you have other ideas for involvement and to hearÌýhow your ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø experience shaped your path. Please feel free to drop me a line atÌýceaechair@colorado.edu.

Wishing you a wonderful new year.
