To:UB Engineering Faculty and Staff
The following "13 questions" were asked by me at the recent reception welcoming me to UB Engineering. My hope is that these questions will help focus our attention and help us choose future priorities and initiatives. However, these 13 are from my observations and may be limited in their scope.
Therefore, this page has been created to allow you to enter questions and comments of your own. Your input will be directed to a file that I will read daily allowing me to update the questions periodically. Your responses will be anonymous, unless you choose to add your name.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Harvey
