ALUMNI ANNEX
National Campaign Committee Koffolt Labs Campaign Committee Makes Progress On April 26, 2013, the committee met to review progress in fund raising for the new building. Bill Lowrie chaired the meeting, which included an overview from Stuart Cooper and a construction update by University Facilities’ Bill Holtz. Construction is on schedule and within budget. Professor L.-S. Fan presented on the commercialization potential of his chemical looping processes. Matt McNair, chief advancement officer for the College of Engineering, and Jessica Schmitt, the new director of development for CBE, then reviewed strategy for the rest of the campaign.

Houston Alumni Gathering
San Francisco Event
A few members of the Class of ‘80 gathered in March for dinner at the beautiful home of Carol and Fred Erhman in Houston. Paul Dubetz (‘80 BSChE), Matt Galosi (‘80 BSChE), and Carol and Fred Erhman (both Class of ‘80 BSChE’s) enjoyed reminiscing over Carol’s gourmet meal. Paul and Fred had a lot to talk about -- they’ve both had international careers with Exxon!
Beverly (‘68 BA-History) and Bill Hauschildt (‘67 BSChE) hosted College of Engineering Dean David Williams and a handful of Engineering and ChemE alums at the Metropolitan Club in San Francisco last June.
The group also discussed an upcoming Class of ‘80 gift for the new building. If you would like to participate, Matt Galosi would love to hear from you! Email: matt.galosi@ bp.com.
The group enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a great meal (all perfectly planned by Bev), and Dean Williams provided an interesting college update. Join our LinkedIn group, “Ohio State Chemical Engineering Alumni and Friends” to network with other CBE alums! -9-
