Spainhour is excited to serve as chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.“Our faculty and students have been making tremendous strides in the past few years, in everything from research expenditures to K-12 outreach,” she said. “I’m looking forward to building on that momentum, and even more so, I’m thrilled to be telling the story of all of the great things our students and faculty are doing.”
