People

BEACON Center Management
Director: Charles Ofria (charles.ofria@gmail.com)
Executive Director: Erik Goodman (goodman@egr.msu.edu)
Managing Director: Danielle Whittaker (djwhitta@msu.edu)
Education Director: Louise Mead (lsmead@msu.edu)
Diversity Director: Judi Brown Clarke (jbc@msu.edu)
Industrial Affiliates Manager: Betty Cheng (chengb@cse.msu.edu)
Business Manager: Connie James (jamesc@msu.edu)
Accounts Manager: Darcie Zubek (zubek@msu.edu)
Account Specialist: Anjali Srivastava (srivas26@msu.edu)
Information Technologist: Timothy Schmidt (timothys@msu.edu)

BEACON members include both Participants (those devoting 160 hours
or more per year to BEACON-related work) and Affiliates (those others
still participating in BEACON activities). While many people have been
members of BEACON in the past, only those shown in BEACON’s database
as still active are shown below. They are broken down by institution, then
by roles within each institution. The information shown for each member is
from that member’s personally entered profile, and is only the items they
have chosen to make public. Keywords or member names may be entered
in search fields on the right-hand side or on the Research pages to find
descriptions of BEACON-funded projects with which they have been affiliated
although some persons are members without ever having received direct
financial support from BEACON.
