Posted: 

Autumn semester just wrapped up, but we are still celebrating the moments that stand out.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering gathered to honor professors emeriti from the Welding Engineering Program and the Materials Science and Engineering Program on October 5 at The Ohio State University Golf Club. 

Each professor emeritus spoke to the crowd of current faculty, staff, and special guests. They shared personal updates, favorite memories from their careers at Ohio State, and plans for the upcoming year.
