Engineering Alumni Memories

We asked alumni to complete the following thoughts:
"When I was a student, I vividly remember ..."
"The professor I remember most is ... because . . ."

We received a wide variety of responses – memories about professors, projects, classes, and old friends. Submit your memories for this web page by e-mailing them to SupportEngineering@colostate.edu.
