Richard S. Leavenworth, professor emeritus of industrial and systems engineering at UF, has served in many positions within the college since he first came to the university in 1966. He served as acting chairman of the department, assistant dean for planning and analysis of the college and was a member of the university senate. In addition to service on numerous university committees, he chaired the College of Engineering Committee on the Doctor of Engineering Degree.
