We wish a fond farewell to former Department Head John Kobza, who transformed ISE into a community where faculty and students thrive through mutual support.

Professor John Kobza is a regional vice president for Alpha Pi Mu, an industrial engineering honor society. He is one of many ISE faculty members in leadership positions in academia or service organizations.

Industrial and Systems Engineering Department Head John Kobza has decided to return to the faculty, effective July 31.

UT welcomed students from nine universities around the region for the Institute of Industrial and System Engineers (IISE) Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference.
