KU Engineering Tiberti Lecture to Focus on Forging a Rewarding Engineering Career
A pioneer in workforce development in the field of civil engineering will give this year’s J.A. Tiberti Family Lecture at the University of Kansas School of Engineering.
Denise Simmons, associate dean for workforce development and associate professor in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida, will deliver this year’s lecture at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 in the Beren Auditorium in Slawson Hall.
Simmons said her lecture, titled “Forging a Practically Ingenious, Rewarding Engineering Career,” will have two objectives: specifically, to encourage KU students to develop the supporting competencies that enable their leadership practice as they advance their careers, and, broadly, to ignite their agency toward developmental progression and career self-fulfillment.
