The College welcomes back Kathleen Pohl
Last June, Kathleen Pohl returned to the college as the dean’s assistant. A fixture in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for 13 years, she spent the past five years as the finance and procurement supervisor in the Oviatt Library. With her administrative expertise and in-depth knowledge of the college and the university, everyone at CECS is delighted to have her back and looks forward to working with her for many more years.
