Dear CEPS community,

As we continue to advance preparation and planning to bring forward to Senate in June a proposal to create two colleges from our current College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, I have formed two ad hoc committees. The role of these committees is to advise me throughout this process and help prepare the proposal for Senate. The members of the two committees are as follows:

Physics, Mathematics and Statistics, Chemistry, and Computer Science

Stacey Scott – Professor, Computer Science (Chair of Ad hoc) Minglun Gong – Director, School of Computer Science Kathryn Preuss – Chair, Chemistry Peter Tremaine – Professor, Chemistry Rajesh Pereira – Chair, Mathematics & Statistics Monica Cojocaru – Professor, Mathematics & Statistics and ADRGS Stefan Kycia – Chair, Physics Leonid Brown – Professor, Physics and Acting ADA Mark Torcoletti – ADFO - CEPS (non-voting member) Moncef Nehdi – Dean and Chair of Ad hoc Engineering Committee (non-voting member)

Engineering

Moncef Nehdi – Dean, CEPS (Chair of Ad hoc) Ibrahim Deiab – Director, School of Engineering Julie Vale – Associate Director - Undergraduate Studies Andrew Binns - Area Head - Environmental Engineering and Water Resources Fantahun M. Defersha - Area Head - Mechanical Engineering Shawki M. Areibi - Area Head - Engineering Systems and Computing + Computer Engineering Ashutosh Singh - Area Head - Biological and Biomedical Engineering Suzana Milosevic - Administrative Manager, School of Engineering Mark Torcoletti - ADFO – CEPS (non-voting member) Stacey Scott – Professor and Chair – Ad hoc committee (non-voting member)   The Chair of each committee will sit as a non-voting member of the other committee. This is being done to ensure transparency and working collaboratively as we move forward.

Both Chairs are engaging with faculty and staff throughout this process and welcome your input. They, along with our VPSA and AVPA, will also continue to engage students through our formal student governance channels.

Best regards, Bill
