Welcome to the Spring Semester!
1-21-2025
From: Isaiah Surbrook - Assistant Dean Engineering Student Services & Diversity
Welcome back! I hope you had a restful break and are ready for an exciting semester ahead.
I wanted to share a couple of important updates to help you get started:
- Office Locations in the Dean Sweigard Student Services Space
- Luanne Donoghue has moved from ET to EA301
- The ESC office is now in EA304.
- The Engineering Peer Tutoring Center is now in EA302A and will start later this week. I’ll send out the tutoring schedule in a separate email soon.
- Design Lab Updates: The Design Lab (ERIC 111) has some fantastic new equipment, including a couple of new 3D printers and a laser etcher! Along with these additions, there are updated policies and procedures that everyone will need to follow.
- This week, I’ll be working with our lab employees to train them on the new procedures. The lab will open to students on Monday (1/27/25).
- Mandatory Orientation: Before using the lab, you’ll need to attend an orientation session. This requirement applies to everyone, even if you’ve been trained to use the lab in the past.
- You can sign up for orientation using this link: Orientation Sign-Up.
I’m looking forward to seeing all the incredible work you’ll do this semester, especially in the Design Lab. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help.
Let’s make this a great spring semester!

Instead of displacing anyone from Lot 45, your UofM permit has been activated to access both the Engineering Lot 45 and the Innovation Garage for the duration of the project in the event that a parking space is not available in Lot 45. No new permit holders will be added until project is complete.
