 Hello, my name is Meng Cheng. I'm the John A. Everson Dean of the College of Engineering at Purdue University. And today's event is one of the few every year that I most look forward to to celebrate our DEA, Distinguished Engineering Alumni. While we cannot get together in person, as we used to, our congratulations to the awardees are just as warm. We congratulate these individuals for achieving the pinnacle of excellence in their own career and the broad positive impact that they have brought to our society. And this year, we are very honored to bestow the highest honor from the College of Engineering DEA to the following alumni.
