A cure for diabetes?

Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for nearly 90,000 deaths each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A gift to faculty is a gift to students.

When Catherine French arrived at the U like her father and her sisters before her, she was driven by curiosity. Little did she know that her thirst for knowledge would lead to 30+ years as a faculty member, becoming a national leader in building codes for structural concrete systems—and receiving a teaching award named after one of her favorite professors.

The Charles E. Bowers Faculty Teaching Award was established by John Bowers (Physics ’76) to honor his father and noted CSE faculty member. It went to Professor French in 2019.
