In Memory of Becky Laird

Becky dedicated over 33 years of her life to the Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Department. She was described by students, faculty, and staff as the soul of the department. She was a mentor and friend to many of our students, offering a sympathetic ear and guidance for some of life’s challenges when needed. Known for her quick wit and sense of humor, she brought laughter and joy to those around her, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her.
