Welcome to the Engineering Alumni Association
Dear Alumni,
Thank you for your valuable involvement with the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering. In interacting with many of you, I have felt your affection for your alma mater. Several of you have expressed a desire to help recruit the next generation of engineering students and to encourage and mentor students currently in our program. The best schools have close connections with their alumni, and we are endeavoring to make the University of Utah Price College of Engineering one of the best. As our alumni, you are a great resource for the College. If you have not visited campus lately, I invite you to come by and let us show you some of our newest developments. I think you will be pleased. Further, the information on this website offers some ideas about how you can increase your involvement with us.
Thank you again for your great support!
