Take a Bow

Engineering dean Allen Soyster and four colleagues are this year’s recipients of the Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, from the National Academy of Engineering. The $500,000 prize, one of engineering’s highest honors, is for the creation of the Learning Factory program, a curriculum that challenges students to develop leadership skills by confronting real technology needs facing industry today. Sharing the prize with Soyster are colleagues from Pennsylvania State University, the University of South Florida, the University of Washington, and Hewlett-Packard.

Congratulazioni! Former Husky goalie Chanda Gunn exported her winning ways to the 2006 Winter Olympics, in Torino, Italy, as a member of the U.S. women’s hockey team, which skated away with a bronze medal. Gunn, BHS’05, started four of the squad’s five games, allowing just three goals. Team USA shut out Finland 4-0 to earn the bronze. Canada took home the gold medal, and Sweden the silver. An upset loss to Sweden kept the United States out of the gold-medal match.
