Mehlman began her tenure with the CEEAA in 2012. Over the past decade, she has served as the Chair of the Student Support Committee, which assists the department by developing and coordinating programs for the benefit of students through interaction with alumni. She has also served as a member of the Alumni Interaction Committee, which focuses its attention on developing and improving the department’s relationships with its alumni, and as a member of both the Award/Nominating Committee and the Executive Finance Committee. In addition, she was instrumental in the development of the Young Engineers Division, which she spearheaded in 2019.

Mehlman notes how her service with the CEEAA has impacted her legal practice, “speaking both engineering and legal languages, and continuing my leadership in the engineering community, allows me to bridge gaps, reduce risk, and create opportunities where others see obstacles.”

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois, founded in 1867, has over 15,000 living alumni found in many major organizations throughout the global economy: in large and small engineering firms, in government agencies, consulting firms, major corporations, universities and more.

The mission of the CEEAA is to work with and support the department faculty, staff, students, and alumni and to inspire lifelong loyalty and pride among alumni and friends by developing and enhancing their continued relationship with the department.
