Bill O’Brien, a professor in ECE and long-time Dean’s club member, donned his pin at the recent investiture of the new class of Willett Professors of Engineering. Prof. O’Brien commented:
I’m blessed with the opportunity to support UIUC and the COE, having received 3 of my 4 degrees from Engineering (EE actually) and a 38-year career as a professor, the best job in the world. We are having fun.
