IE pins and oath
After faculty and staff were introduced, leaders from the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering (IISE) student chapter and Alpha Pi Mu shared an overview of the organizations. The ceremony ended with the incoming class taking a group oath and receiving their Pitt Swanson School Industrial Engineering pins.
“I’m excited to have been welcomed into a family of like-minded engineers,” said Anthony Tabak, an incoming industrial engineering student. “I really enjoyed celebrating such an important milestone together with the other IE students and starting to build connections that will last a lifetime.”
Added incoming industrial engineering student Abby Ivory, “The event was a great way to introduce the first-year engineers to the world of industrial engineering. It made such a special moment even more meaningful. I enjoyed meeting the faculty and staff and hearing what they had to say about the program. It made me even more excited to start my journey in IE.
“We’re so excited to welcome our newest class of future industrial engineers with this wonderful event,” said Maillart. “Essential to our program are an ethical commitment, a deep sense of purpose, and the close-knit community that defines Industrial Engineering at Pitt. This celebration embodied all three.”
