Kevin Leonard Named Recipient of the 2020 John E. Sharp and Winifred E. Sharp Teaching Professorship


It gives us great pleasure to announce that Associate Professor Kevin Leonard is the recipient of the 2020 John E. Sharp and Winifred E. Sharp Teaching Professorship. About his selection, the committee stated, "Professor Leonard's proven excellence and innovations in the classroom, in required undergraduate as well as graduate courses, were deciding factors for the committee. The comments from his former students and his teaching reviews were outstanding.  His reimagining of courses to include modern software and other tools show, with the assistance of this three-year Sharp Teaching Professorship, that he will continue to be an educational leader in the department and the School for many years to come."

We are sure this announcement comes as no surprise to the many students who have learned so much from Prof. Leonard over the years. We thank him for his sincere dedication to the education of our future engineers.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Leonard for this well-earned recognition!
