While serving as chair of the academic-senate committee on admissions and enrollment, he played an integral role in designing the UC Davis holistic-review freshman admissions policy implemented in 2011. He has served also as chair of the UC Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS, 2014-2016), which develops and recommends system-wide freshman and transfer admissions policies for approval by the UC Board of Regents. As a professor in the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Dr. Aldredge also performs research and advises graduate students in the areas of combustion

We defined Disciplinary Connections to note instances wherestudents reflected on how specific mechanics topics might be useful or important for success intheir area of study or eventual career. The following excerpt shows a student reflecting on howtheir knowledge of rigid body rotation and angular momentum will be pertinent to their futurework as an aerospace engineer. … I also am enjoying dynamics more - especially what we're doing right now, rotation and angular momentum - because I know it will be applicable in my career.

On June 17th, Georgia Tech followedup with actions they felt were appropriate in response to BLM. The move was to examine thehistory of buildings on campus and be committed to plans that consider changing the names ofbuildings with a history rooted in racism.
