Dennis Chang Named Student Commencement Speaker
Fifteen years ago, Dennis Chang was graduating from MIT with a major in Chemical Engineering. His early academic experience led him to a very successful career in the high-tech industry. In 2006, Dennis decided to resign his position at Intel in order to be a stay-at-home dad for his son, Calvin. It was during this period of re-evaluation and self-assessment that teaching called his name. Dennis will address his fellow students at Commencement on June 7.
