The Penn State AE Society is Re-Born!
The AE department would like to announce the re-formation of the Penn State Alumni Society of Architectural Engineers (ASAE) and associated Board of Advisors. The ASAE purpose is to stimulate the continued interest and professional development of all graduates of Architectural Engineering (AE), by promoting fellowship and communication among the alumni, faculty, and students of the Department.
As students, the AE Program had a significant impact on our personal and professional development and created opportunities for lasting friendships. Through the Penn State Alumni Society of Architectural Engineers, we can expand upon our ever-growing network of geographically diverse alumni and provide industry insight to the department and to each other. Additionally, the Society’s Board and its involved members will work with faculty, the Department Head and current students in an advisory capacity to support the best preparation of AE’s for the future of the profession.
Organized by Dr. Chimay Anumba (AE Department Head), the founding Board members are: Ari Tinkoff (1995), Jay Ruby (1995), Jonathan Dougherty (1999, 2006), Lee Brandt (1999), Karen Sweeney (1980), Megan Hawk (2003) Chip Israel (1984), Mike Bruskin (1987), Tom Martin (1989), Jason McFadden (2006), Keith Mondock (2003), Bill Trach (1967), Jeremy White (2003) and Jonathan Williams (1993).
Our first charge is to help the Department plan and organize the AE Centennial Celebration in 2010! As part of the preparation, we are asking alumni to send cool pictures and fond memories of your time at Penn State with fellow AE’s and faculty.

We are looking for people in all geographies, all disciplines, and graduation years to share ideas and a little bit of their time.
