Illinois State University Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Aondover Tarhule sits down with the Redbird Buzz podcast to share updates and more information about the recently approved College of Engineering, set to launch with its first cohort in 2025.
Dr. Tarhule provides more insight into why Illinois State is starting an engineering program, what the plan for the college’s facilities are, and how Illinois State’s values of collaboration and shared governance are allowing many different campus groups to assist in the development of the college. In addition to increasing overall enrollment at ISU, the new college will also help to address workforce demand and to provide more opportunities for traditionally underrepresented groups in the field of engineering.
Redbird Buzz is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Transcripts of each episode are available online at Alumni.IllinoisState.edu/Podcast.
