Union awarded annual Engineering Alumni Awards this spring to nine distinguished alumni. Faculty from the engineering and computer science departments choose alumni who are seen as dynamic leaders, display success in their field and show a commitment to their profession and community.
The 2006 award recipients are: Dean's Award: Robert G. Huntington '56 of Cooperstown, N.Y.; Gold Award: Thomas Goemaat '76 of Wellesley, Mass. – Civil Engineering; Charles Persico '85 of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. – Electrical Engineering; James Libous '81 of Endwell, N.Y. – Electrical Engineering; John Ciovacco '87 of Schenectady, N.Y. – Mechanical Engineering; Silver Award: Matthew Parlakian '97 of Towson, Md. – Civil Engineering; Thomas Proctor '98 of Ledyard, Conn. – Electrical Engineering; Kurt Kimball ‘02 of Albany, N.Y. – Mechanical Engineering; Computer Science Award: Kathleen Perras '75 of New Hampshire.
The Dean's Award, first given in 2002, goes to an outstanding engineering graduate who has advanced the college by providing recognition to Union in a national context.
These recipients are outstanding examples of Union alumni with eminent careers that provide resources through personal or corporate support and provide service to academic or administrative needs of the college.
Two awards are given in each program every year, the Gold Award to an alumnus who graduated more than 10 years ago, and a Silver Award to an alumnus who graduated less than 10 years ago.
