Join us for a special workshop in memory of Professor Sophocles J. Orfanidis, celebrating his extraordinary contributions to Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). This event will feature insightful talks from renowned experts in academia and industry, reflecting on Professor Orfanidis' legacy as a passionate educator who made engineering knowledge accessible to all.

In addition to the workshop, we are also raising $25,000 to establish a scholarship in Professor Orfanidis' honor. This scholarship will recognize outstanding Rutgers ECE students and encourage them to pursue educational careers, continuing his legacy of academic excellence and commitment to accessible education.

Let’s come together to honor one of Rutgers’ finest educators and build a future of engineering excellence. Your support helps continue Professor Orfanidis' mission to make education accessible to all.

Help us reach our goal and support future leaders.
