Each finalist will make a public presentation from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Driftmier Auditorium. The finalists and the dates of their presentations are:
• Donald Leo, professor of mechanical engineering and vice president and executive director of the National Capital Region operations of Virginia Tech, March 18;

The college is organized without departmental boundaries to promote advanced studies at the interface of disciplines and to prepare students for careers devoted to the integration of discoveries from multiple fields.
