Teaching Assistant Grants Established

TEACHING ASSISTANT GRANTS ESTABLISHED
AE Newsletter - Spring/Summer 2002
This year the AE Department, in cooperation with our industry partners, has established a new Teaching Assistant Grant Program in the Architectural Engineering Department. The program, which was initiated by professor Kevin Parfitt in conjunction with several AE alumni, incorporates industry contributions ranging from $500 to $1,000 matched with funds from the AE Department. The grants are then used to provide financial support for one or more AE undergraduate students who will be employed part-time to assist our faculty in enhancing the quality of AE courses. This is invaluable to the Department in helping to defray the costs of this kind of support, and a great benefit to the student recipient as well. The new program is definitely a win-win situation for everyone involved, and we would like to gratefully acknowledge the following companies who have helped to start this initiative and generously supported this innovative new program in AE. CUH2A, Inc., Princeton, NJ, Rob Consalvo, ’93 g. Integrated Design Associates, Inc. (IDeAs), Santa Clara, CA, David Kanada, ’81 Jacobs Facilities, Inc., Arlington, VA, Brian Mitarotonda, ’95 Firms or individuals who would like to learn more about participating in the program should contact Professor Parfitt at (mkp@psu.edu).
