Alumni Advisory Board Mission

The mission of the Penn State Engineering Science and Mechanics Alumni Advisory Board (AAB) is to advance the department’s world-wide recognition, specifically in recruiting and retaining diverse, quality students, preparing these students for the work environment, and promoting the understanding, attractiveness, and perceived value of ESM in industry, research, and academia.

To execute this mission, the AAB, working closely with department faculty and staff, will establish an active network of alumni and students, interact with all involved parties to generate strong communication paths, and advocate for department initiatives and ESM students throughout the “lifecycle” of their recruitment, education, and careers.
