Welcome to the 2010 College of Science Distinguished Alumni Awards

ceremony

This year we are honoring 10 accomplished members of the Purdue

Science alumni family whose contributions truly stand out These

Purdue scientists have had a big impact mdash and not just on their

scientific disciplines They have changed the world

The College of Science has many prominent alumni mdash this group

proves it The words displayed on the cover of this program mdash

innovators leaders advocates mdash are but just a few of the outstanding

attributes seen in the diverse group we are honoring today

One of my goals for the college is to create a culture where students

donrsquot just become experts in their particular scientific discipline but

they also learn how that discipline interrelates and connects to other

sciences and to society as a whole After all we have grand challenges

to solve Each of these honorees embodies that idea perfectly and I am

proud to join you in celebrating their achievements

Please join me in congratulating the 2010 Distinguished Science
