On President Farvardin’s Column

As the wife of a former professor of chemical engineering at Stevens, mother of a current staff member at Stevens and grandmother of a graduate of Stevens in recent years, [I found that] President Farvardin’s column addressing the influence of AI in our present and future society (“Prepared to Thrive in the AI Revolution,” Fall ’25 issue) gave me the brightest glimmer of hope for the future. Thank you, President Farvardin.

I just read “Prepared to Thrive in the AI Revolution” and wanted to express my appreciation. [President Farvardin] clearly articulated both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, as well as the thoughtful steps Stevens has taken to ensure its students are ready not just to adapt, but to lead. I am very impressed by your forward-looking approach and its decade-long effort to prepare graduates for the shifts AI is bringing to every sector. Your commitment to nurturing both advanced technical skills and uniquely human capabilities is admirable and necessary. Thank you for your leadership and vision.

Greater Readability and Relevance

I commend the clarity and readability of the magazine. I’m a regular reader and have been for many years. Over the years, I’ve noticed big changes (like transitioning to the new paper type) and more subtle. I expect each change is, at least in part, driven by efficiency and production cost economics, yet the relevance continues to improve. Well done.
