Yale President Peter Salovey had this to say about her efforts: “Kyle has brought to life on our campus the ‘cool’ nature of engineering,” said Salovey. “Interest and enrollment in Yale’s engineering programs has skyrocketed, and student groups centered on engineering now abound – including the national engineering honor society Tau Beta Pi and a chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, both launched in recent years. Her energy and creativity are reflected in every facet of the vibrant school she has shaped and shepherded these past 10 years.”
