The
Legacy of the Watson School's
Founders
The
Watson School Founders are those individuals who shaped the Thomas
J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science at the time
of the School's founding in 1983. The list of Founders was developed
through review of historical records and with discussion with
individuals involved in the formation of the School.
In 1998, the Watson School recognized and honored its Founders.
At that time, the establishment of the Founders Awards was announced.
On
the Friday proceeding commencement, the Dean of the Watson School
hosted a special dinner where the Founders were honored. Each
Founder received a framed certificate recognizing their role in
the founding of the Watson School. Founders were also invited
to the School-based recognition ceremony held the Saturday before
University commencement. The role of the Founders was included
in the Dean's remarks and the Founders were identified during
the ceremony. Founders were also listed in the program. Following
the Recognition Ceremony, a matching certificate honoring all
recipients was added to the Dean's Wall of Honor recognizing this
distinguished group.
