A Word from the Department Chair, Dr. Hart

Dear Biomedical Engineering Alumni and Friends:

Welcome to our latest e-newsletter!

We continue to expand the faculty, with 4 hired for this Fall, bringing the total to 30 people (with multiple split appointments, that corresponds to 24 full-time-equivalents).  In addition, we have finalized plans to move to the new Biomedical and Materials Engineering Complex (part new construction, part renovation of Koffolt and Fontana) on central campus that will house Biomedical Engineering and a portion of Materials Science and Engineering.

We thank you for helping support our continued successes. We continue to note with pride that 100% of our regular faculty and staff have provided gifts to OSU via the annual Campus Campaign. I hope that our enthusiasm for investing in ourselves will spur you to consider gifts targeted to the department to help us achieve our strategic goals, including help with our new building.  (See our “Give to BME” button on our website at bme.osu.edu, or please let me know if you would like to meet).

In addition to financial support, we continue to rely on the network of Ohio State alumni and friends to help our students find internship and employment opportunities. Please continue to let us know of any opportunities as you find them.

I am always happy to meet our alumni and friends. Please stop by, if convenient, to get a firsthand look at our progress.

In the meantime, please join me in welcoming our new members and recognizing the accomplishments all our students and faculty.
