Jeff Stone joined Birmingham-based contractor Brasfield & Gorrie following his graduation in civil engineering from Auburn in 1979 and has remained with the company, rising to the position of chief operating officer. He began his career in estimating and progressed through project management to overall management of office, retail and hospital projects in Alabama and Florida. Notable projects that he has been associated with include the Collonade, BellSouth Services headquarters, Kirklin Clinic and the McWane Center, all located in Birmingham. He has held the positions of division manager for the healthcare division, division manager for the institutional division, vice president of operations and president of the company’s central region. In his current role as COO, he oversees approximately $2 billion in annual construction revenues throughout 19 states and 29 operating divisions. He serves on Brasfield & Gorrie’s executive committee. Stone has maintained a close relationship with Auburn Engineering since his school days, when he served as an ex-officio member of the university’s board of trustees as the student body representative. He has served on the Auburn University Foundation board of directors since 2007 and will take over as chairman in 2013-14. He has served on the university’s campaign executive committee since 2011, and is chairman of the Auburn Engineering campaign leadership team. He is also a member of the industrial advisory board for the Department of Civil Engineering, and is the namesake for the Stone Fund for Excellence and Stone Leadership awards in that department. He is also a member of the Engineering Keystone Society, as well as several other recognition societies within the college.

Emily Zieman graduated in aerospace engineering in 2002 and completed a master’s degree, also in aerospace, in 2004. She then joined the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) at Redstone Arsenal. At AMRDEC, she began working on dynamic analysis for the HELLFIRE missile, Hydra rocket and Javelin missile systems. She has worked through a number of assignments at AMRDEC, and has been appointed as lead for the HELLFIRE Legacy Launcher integrated product team. She currently provides technical support to all Army, Navy and Air Force clients, and assists the system’s prime contractor with field retrofits and related activities. Zieman met her husband Mike, a graduate in computer science and software engineering, on the Auburn Baja SAE team in 2002, and both have remained active on the team as alumni, helping College of Engineering faculty and administration with the preparation and organization of three on-campus events that Auburn has hosted — in 2006, 2009 and spring of this year. They have also been active as judges in Baja events that have been scheduled elsewhere in the region. Zieman is a member of the Society of Women Engineers as well as the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Joe Morgan joined the faculty of the College of Engineering in 1971 as an assistant professor of civil engineering. He retired four decades later as associate dean for academics, a position he held for a decade in the college. He has since become professor and chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Morgan has taught virtually every undergraduate and graduate environmental engineering course offered by the Department of Civil Engineering, including introduction to environmental science, water and wastewater treatment, air pollution and water quality modeling. He has been honored by his students and peers with a number of awards for teaching excellence, and has received a commendation for special service from the U.S. Army. He has been elected to numerous university boards and committees, including service as chair of the College of Engineering’s scholarship committee, the State of Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame board of directors and the university’s academic affairs committee. Morgan graduated in civil engineering from Tennessee Tech, and received his master’s and doctoral degrees from Virginia Tech.
