Kent Foster, an 1992
NIU ME graduate, has received the 2004 Outstanding NIU Alumni of College of Engineering and Engineering
Technology. He has worked in Caterpillar since then and is currently a leader
in the company. The following is a message from the ME Chair:
Dear Kent,
We are excited about the news that you have received the Outstanding NIU
Alumni Award this year. We feel especially proud for you as you are our ME
graduate of 1992 Class. Throughout the years, you have excelled in Caterpillar
and helped to establish a strong Caterpillar-NIU ME work relationship through
senior design projects, co-op/internship program, IAB meetings, job hiring
and cash and equipment donations. With the support of many Caterpillar's cash
donations, the SAE has become one of the most successful student
organizations in the college. The award is a suitable recognition for what
NIU has benefited from this long-term work relationship.
Congratulations for this well deserving award. We look forward to more
interactions between NIU and Caterpillar.
I am bcc to all ME graduate and undergraduate students so that they can be
proud of an outstanding ME alumni as well as being part of a great ME
Department.
Sincerely yours,
Simon
