Description

As we reflect on the past year and look to the future, we are entering a new era for the College of Engineering and Science (COES) — one marked by renewed vision, fresh leadership, and bold ambition.

With the arrival of Dr. Jim Henderson as Louisiana Tech’s newest president, the energy and momentum across our campus is palpable. Here in COES, we are embracing this spirit of progress with open arms. I am honored to serve as the dean of this incredible college, and I’m joined by a dynamic group of new leaders who are ready to shape the future of engineering and science at Louisiana Tech.

This year, we welcomed Rosilynn Gillum as our director of development and Lindsey Murry as our director of communications and outreach. We also strengthened our leadership team with the appointments of Dr. Arden Moore as associate dean of research and, effective June 1, 2025, Dr. Mary Caldorera-Moore as associate dean of undergraduate studies. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Hisham Hegab, who has graciously served in the interim role of associate dean of undergraduate studies following Dr. Heath Tims’ promotion to CEO of the Louisiana Tech alumni association. Dr. Hegab’s leadership and support have been invaluable during this time of transition.

At the heart of this new era is a refined mission: to cultivate a dynamic and supportive environment that produces job-ready graduates and transformative research. This mission reflects our commitment to preparing students not just for today’s opportunities but for the challenges of tomorrow. It also speaks to our dedication to research that improves lives, builds resilient communities, and shapes the future of technology and innovation.

Within the pages that follow, you’ll find inspiring stories of faculty and students who are pushing the boundaries of innovation and research in their fields. You’ll meet alumni who have harnessed the power of their COES education to make meaningful impacts in the world. You’ll see how our industry partners are walking alongside us — helping to shape programs and tapping into our top student talent. And you’ll revisit favorite annual events that continue to define the unique culture and spirit that make COES a remarkable place to learn, grow, and lead.
