This semester, ��ý��Ƶ��ƹۿ�’s School of Engineering and Computing celebrated a milestone with the establishment of the Connecticut Delta chapter of the prestigious Tau Beta Pi (TBP) engineering honor society. This achievement is the result of a multi-year effort by students Maeve O’Connell ’25 and Matt Manduca ’25, alongside Susan Freudzon, PhD, assistant professor and director of the Biomedical Engineering program. Their application highlighted Fairfield’s rigorous, ABET-accredited engineering programs and showcased student-led initiatives, such as community service projects and networking events.

Founded in 1885, Tau Beta Pi is the oldest engineering honor society in the U.S., recognizing students who demonstrate both academic achievement and personal integrity.

O’Connell, Manduca, and Dr. Freudzon presented Fairfield’s petition at the TBP annual convention in South Dakota this fall, where it received unanimous approval from more than 300 representatives of TBP chapters nationwide.

The Connecticut Delta chapter will officially launch in spring 2025 with plans for food drives, alumni networking, and community outreach projects.
