UMass Lowell Plastics Engineering Professors to be Honored
June 23, 2009

The Plastics Engineering Department, together with students, alumni and friends, will be honoring Profs. Rudy Deanin, Aldo Crugnola, Stephen Orroth, Stephen Driscoll and Nick Schott at a reception and dinner on June 23 at the Alhambra Palace Restaurant in Chicago.

“Our honorees have more than 200 years of combined educational service at the Lowell Technological Institute, University of Lowell and UMass Lowell,” says Department Chair Robert Malloy. “It was Profs. Russ Ehlers, Ray Normandin and Henry Thomas who founded the Plastics Department in 1954, but these ‘second-generation’ of plastics educators at the University have passed on their vast knowledge and dedication to those they’ve mentored for so many years. Many alumni they taught and influenced will be on hand to wish them well. We invite everyone to join us in this tribute.”

The reception takes place during the week of the National Plastics Exposition (NPE) from June 22 to 26 and the Society of Plastics Engineers’ Annual Technical Conference (ANTEC) from June 22 to 24. “Since both events will be co-located this year in Chicago, this is a good opportunity for us to get together, see old friends, and see our second-generation Plastics Engineering faculty,” says Malloy.

The dinner costs $75 per person. For more information, contact Gail Sheehy in Plastics Engineering at gail_sheehy@uml.edu; 978-934-3420; fax 978-458-4141.
