Yuliya Vengrenyuk Wins Poster Prize for Imaging
Yuliya Vengrenyuk, a Ph.D. candidate in biomedical engineering, received first prize for her poster, “Micro-CT Based Analysis of a New Paradigm for Vulnerable Plaque Rupture,” at the 6th International Conference on Medical Innovations, held last May in Vienna. The Mimics Innovation Award, which carries a $4,000 prize, is funded by Materialise, a medical imaging company based in Belgium. Working with co-authors Professors Sheldon Weinbaum and Luis Cardoso, Ms. Vengrenyuk built a three-dimensional model of a vulnerable plaque based on 3-D images obtained from a tissue sample.

Harold Shames ’44 ME and his CCNY “Band of Brothers”
During the post depression years, when he was at City College, Harold Shames recalls that the liberal arts students could be found conducting vigorous lunchroom alcove debates about the politics of the day. Not so for engineering students, says Mr. Shames. “The engineering program required daily diligence in our studies. Any spare time after lunch was used to solve course problems, not world problems,” he explains. “A no nonsense environment prevailed. To ease the pressure of the times, students established an engineering social fraternity, Sigma Kappa Tau (SKT).” The group would repair to their “frat house,” a nearby fourth-floor walk-up, for schmoozing, card playing and consulting a repository of engineering reports donated by students who had successfully completed their coursework.

Join the Alumni Partnership Program. It’s a Win-Win
To land good jobs after graduation, Grove School students need the summer and academic-year internships available to students at bigger name institutions. And, you can help. That is what the Grove School undergraduate internship initiative - the Alumni Partnership Program (APP) – is all about. The buzz about the Grove School is palpable. Word is out that our graduates are among the most talented young engineers in the country. They win coveted leadership training jobs in stiff national searches. As alumni you can be part of this success story. You can give our undergraduates the experience they need by offering them internships in your companies. It’s a win-win.
 
 
Five Exceptional High School Students Become Kaylie (Mini-Circuits) Scholars
When Harvey Kaylie ’60 EE, founder and president of Mini-Circuits, established five $30,000 scholarships for incoming students at the Grove School, he wanted to encourage young people, who like himself, had the qualifications and the drive for an engineering education but lacked the means. And the bar for these students was set very high. The requirements were a minimum high school average of 90 and minimum SAT score of 1250; with demonstrated financial need, a positive work ethic shown through work experience, community service, research beyond the regular class room hours, or other exceptional activities.
