More> McKetta's Longstanding Influence Inspires Chemical Engineering Alumni to Give Back There are hardly any chemical engineering alumni alive today who do not recall with fondness, and a hearty chuckle, Dr. John J. McKetta. His connection through the years to his students has been one of the most powerful in the College’s history. John regards his 5,800-plus alumni as his “boys” (and “gals” he will now add with a twinkle) and makes it a point to remember names, spouses, employers, etc, and to call individual alumni on their birthday’s.
