Neil Sahota, [UCI lecturer, school of engineering], writes, “While many organizations can point to better success with diversity and inclusion (D&I) at the lower-level positions, real D&I success is built upon at all levels, most especially the boardroom.

Message from the Department Chair
Winter 2012
Since taking on the position of department chair in July 2010, I’ve had the chance to get reacquainted with many of our alumni. Rarely do I attend a local professional meeting, or visit a local agency or consultancy, and not come across one of our successful graduates. Like a proud parent, it warms my heart to see our graduates in a professional setting, having matured and taken on responsibilities in leadership roles, and by serving the best interests of their employers and profession.
Where are you from? “I am from Irvine, California and my parents immigrated to the United States from Vietnam.” What are you studying?“I am an undergraduate senior at University of California, Irvine double majoring in mechanical and aerospace engineering.” What motivated you to apply to a NASA internship? “NASA has been a dream of mine since high school, but it never seemed like it could be a reality for me.
Thank you for your interest in the Center for Opportunities & Diversity in Engineering at UCI, or CODE, as we prefer to call it.
