4 | GRADUATION CELEBRATION 2021A LET T ER F R O M T H E D E AN
Dear Graduate:
On behalf of the faculty and staff of The George Washington University’s School of
Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), I congratulate you on your well-earned academic
achievement.
I hope you are as proud of your accomplishment as we—your professors, advisors, and
mentors—are. We have watched you learn, grow, widen your perspectives, and deepen your
understanding of the engineering and computer science disciplines and of the critical roles they
play in our increasingly technology-driven world.
Naturally, we wish we could be alongside you and your family and friends now to celebrate
the culmination of your hard work. However, the need for this year’s ceremony to be virtual
in no way diminishes the value of your achievement and our recognition of it. In addition to
this year’s virtual ceremony, we look forward to inviting you to return to campus when we are
John Lach, Ph.D. able to safely celebrate you in-person with our traditional GW Commencement and SEAS
Dean, School of Graduation Celebration.
Engineering and Applied Science
In the meantime, as you look forward to your next challenge, I hope you will recall what you
have learned during your time at SEAS. First and foremost, you have studied your discipline in
technical depth and acquired an understanding of the ethical practice and societal context of
engineering and computer science. You have learned to think creatively about complex topics
and to work collaboratively with people across disciplines and from various backgrounds.
Your experiences inside and outside the classroom have prepared you to become a valuable
member—and leader—of diverse teams solving society’s grand challenges.
But the preparation you have acquired here is just the beginning.
I challenge you to go forth from today as a life-long learner, constantly collecting new
knowledge, skills, and perspectives to better serve humankind in our ever-changing world. The
current pandemic—that dynamic and tragic backdrop to our collective lives for over a year—
has reminded us of the importance of adaptability and the need to be proactive in preparing for
any challenges that may come our way. As engineers and computer scientists, you have special
capabilities and responsibilities, and your commitment to continued growth and adaptability
will help you make the world a better and more resilient and equitable place for all.
Whether you are now going on to your first full-time job, heading to graduate school or
professional school, or otherwise continuing on your life path with what you have gained from
your time at GW, please stay in touch with us and with your fellow alumni. Remember that the
SEAS community extends far beyond campus and will always welcome you. With a worldwide
network of alumni and friends, you will find opportunities to connect with, support, and be
supported by fellow GW graduates wherever you venture. And individually and together, you
will Raise High!
I wish you all the best,
John Lach
Dean, School of Engineering and Applied Science

Dr. Christine Mann Darden, a retired NASA director and aerospace engineer, is an
internationally recognized authority in the field of sonic-boom minimization. Known as
one of NASA’s “human computers” in the 60s and 70s, Dr. Darden’s story features in the
2016 bestseller, Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women
Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race.
Dr. Darden began her career as a high school mathematics teacher but quickly moved to a data
analyst position at NASA’s Langley Research Center when the opportunity presented itself. She
continued her work as a data analyst for six years, and in 1973, she requested a transfer to the
engineering department so she could work on applied mathematics problems, rather than the
data work she had been doing. She persisted; her request was granted; and she was promoted to
aerospace engineer.
She began her work in sonic boom minimization, and in 1989 was named technical leader of the
Sonic Boom Group in the High Speed Research Program’s Vehicle Integration Branch. This is
Christine Mann Darden, the program responsible for developing NASA’s sonic boom research program.
D.Sc. ‘83
In 1999, Dr. Darden became a member of the Senior Executive Service at NASA when she
was named director of the Aerospace Performing Center Program Management Office. She
subsequently served as NASA Langley’s assistant director for strategic planning and, finally, as
the director of strategic communications and education before retiring in 2007.
Among the awards she earned throughout her career are: NASA’s Certificate of Outstanding
Performance (which she received ten times); the 1988 Black Engineer of the Year Award
from U.S. Black Engineer & Technology magazine; and the 1987 Candace Award for Science and
Technology. She also was honored in 2002 in a museum exhibition at the San Francisco Airport
that showcased seven inventors whose innovations have contributed significantly to the NASA
space program.
Dr. Darden received her Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics education from Hampton
University, followed by her Master of Science degree in applied mathematics from Virginia
State College. In 1983, she earned her Doctor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from
GW and subsequently was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science from GW in 2019.

15 | GRADUATION CELEBRATION 2021WELCOME TO T H E ALU M N I CO M M U N I TY
Dear Graduate
On behalf of the Office of Alumni Relations, congratulations
on your graduation from the School of Engineering and
Applied Science, and welcome to the GW alumni community.
Today you are joining a dynamic network of accomplished
scholars and professionals. In the coming months, you will be
hearing from us regarding engagement opportunities, both
in Washington, D.C. and across the globe. We encourage you
to remain connected to this network by keeping the alumni
office informed of your achievements and up to date on your
whereabouts. We also invite you to serve the SEAS and greater
GW communities in ways that interest you; for example:
encouraging potential students to attend SEAS, mentoring
current students, hiring graduating students, participating in
on- or off-campus panels, hosting a local event, returning for
reunions, or participating in any other way that appeals to you.
We are always open to gathering your input, too, and
encourage you to email us at seasalum@gwu.edu.
Congratulations once again and best wishes!
Sincerely,
GW SEAS Alumni Relations
