Over the years, working in the College of Engineering she has forged strong working relationships with, administrators, faculty, staff, students, and families to resolve problems and respond to challenges and opportunities.

“Our engineering students are excellent, and my goal is to help them be even more successful. Whether they come with groups or as individuals, every student is going to find something in CARE-resources, tutoring, study groups, workshops, mentoring-that encourages them to stretch and to excel.” --Dana Tempel, Assistant Director
