Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Don Plumlee, Senior Associate Dean in the College of Engineering and Professor of Mechanical Engineering has announced his retirement from Boise State University, effective November 1, 2024. His last day in the office will be October 18.
I want to thank Don for his tremendous accomplishments over his 23 years at Boise State. Since 2001, his roles have included student, research engineer, professor, chair, and Sr. Assoc Dean. His passion and dedication are evident in the impact of his work in these roles. He has taught over 1500 engineering students and was instrumental in modernizing the Mechanical Engineering curriculum. He led the establishment of the Engineering Innovation Student and studio\Blu, both dynamic learning environments for our students. His recent contributions to building a network of partnerships with community colleges and creating pathways will help many students obtain a degree and fulfill their dreams.
I am grateful for Don’s work and have appreciated working with him over his time as chair and Sr. Associate Dean. Please join me in wishing him well in his new path, carrying a legacy of impact and excellence as a Bronco!
Regards,
JoAnn S. Lighty
Dean, College of Engineering
