The Spring 2026 semester has kicked off to an exciting start for STBE students with interesting courses, upcoming student competitions, faculty research presentations, thriving industry partnerships, and lots of snow and ice! Over Winter Break, the STBE department put together our departmental highlights and Newsletter, reflective of the Fall 2025 semester. This Newsletter highlights the accomplishments of students, faculty, and more. You can view the Winter 2026 newsletter here to learn more about our student awards, industry partnerships, and exciting departmental events. Below is the included letter from the STBE Department Chair, Dr. Ok-Youn Yu:
Happy New Year!
As we begin the spring semester, I am proud of the momentum our department continues to build. The past semester showcased the strength of our STBE community, from a successful career fair and end-of-semester breakfast to student achievements and graduations. These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and industry partners.
Looking ahead, we are excited for another semester of learning and growth. Thank you to our industry partners, alumni, faculty, and friends for supporting the preparation of future leaders in our built environment.
Best,
Dr. Ok-Youn Yu, Departmental Chair
