Koronka said O’Neal is good at making himself available to
those who need his help.
“He really has an open door policy,” Koronka said. “He treats
everyone equally and he concerns himself with everyone else’s
problems. I don’t see drastic change coming, but I think things
will go on as they have, even a little bit better.”
O’Neal wasn’t sure where to rank this appointment
among the honors and accolades earned over a career span
ning three decades.
“Being appointed head of one of the biggest top-20 engi
neering programs is, in my mind, a very high achievement,”
O’Neal said. “On a scale of one to 10, it’s probably a 10.”

Some students serve as mentors themselves.
Elaine Lanningham, a senior education major, mentored
a student through the Help One Student to Succeed
(HOSTS) program.
“It’s a wonderful program,” Lanningham said. “1 just
wish I could have spent more time with the student I was
matched with.”
Lanningham used the program to gain valuable experi

Lanningham said. “It felt good to give her the kind of one-
on-one attention that she wasn't getting at home.”
