Reflections on CTS at 40: Erik Minge

I attended the University from 1986 to 1991 as an undergrad in civil engineering. I recall this small office right at the entrance to the Civil Engineering building labeled "CTS." A window to this office faced the hallway, and occasionally I saw someone working there. I remember thinking what a lonely looking undertaking. I learned later this was Dick Braun [CTS's first director].

Amazing to see how the program has grown into what it is today!
