Campaign Moving Forward

SEAS alumni and friends, I have good news to share. Great things are happening at U.Va.’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. Momentum is obvious wherever you look and each forward step we take is due in large measure to the support we receive from you — our alumni, our friends, and our corporate sponsors and partners.

 

Honoring Women

Jill Tietjen cares about women. Women in engineering. Women in professional careers. Women who have had a profound impact on the intellectual, social and political development of our society.

 

 

Precision of Movement

Con Way Ling (SE ’92, ’93) started his company around the same time he took up a second career — dancing. As CEO of Xerpi, an online social bookmarking network, and member of the prestigious Martha Graham Dance Ensemble in New York City, he is excelling at both.

 

 

Problem Sets to Community Solutions

Therese Glancy Houghton (EE ’81) worked for the Navy as an electrical engineer for more than a decade before she was called to improve the lives of others in a different capacity. In 1994, Houghton left to attend clown camp.

 

 

Calvin Schneiter

Calvin Schneiter (SE ’92, ’94) took his systems engineering background to the kitchen. With a passion for cooking passed on from his mother and a challenge from a fellow SEAS systems engineering alum, Schneiter opened the popular and eclectic restaurant, Andalu, in San Francisco’s Mission District in September 2001.
