Lecturers
are invited to interact with students and faculty before and after the
lecture. “This is a chance for students to develop a relationship
on a human level with an accomplished business leader or educator,”
said Joseph I. Goldstein, dean of engineering in 1999. “I see the
field of business having more to say to engineering, and our students
need to be aware of what’s going on beyond their field. Many of our
students will eventually be leaders in these technology-based businesses.”
