George Catalano was honored in the Southern Tier Independence Center (STIC) Honor Roll for his commitment to community service. "Professor Catalano oversees a program that enables engineering students to develop customized and creative assistive technology devices to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Not only has he helped many individuals to have better lives, he has inculcated many young engineers with the essential understanding that designers should work with people directly to understand their needs and develop products that work for them." (from STIC Fall 2012 Newsletter)
