SEAS Alumni Host Bay Area Engineering Reception
On June 11, 2006, Michael and Parvin Mansouri-both alumni of SEAS-graciously hosted a SEAS reception at their home in Atherton, California, and more than 20 alumni, parents of students, and friends gathered there for the event.
The reception gave alumni and incoming students a chance to mix and mingle and to meet Dean Tong and share their thoughts and ideas with him. It was also a great opportunity for alumni in the San Francisco Bay area to meet each other and network.
At the reception, Dean Tong gave an update on GW and SEAS, and he specifically welcomed Harmon Handloff, who will be starting SEAS this fall as a freshman. Harmon is from Walnut Creek, California.
Also at the reception, local alumnus Remy Ntshaykolo (MEM '93) talked about an initiative to start a Bay Area Engineering Alumni Group. Through his efforts and those of a small group of volunteers, SEAS is forming a Bay Area/Silicon Valley GW engineering alumni group. We are seeking engineering alumni who might be interested in getting involved or have ideas they would like to share. If you would like to get involved with the SEAS alumni group and help to plan activities and events, please let us know by contacting Remy (remynt@hotmail.com; cell phone: 415-531-0993) or the SEAS Office of Advancement and Alumni Programs (seasalum@gwu.edu).
