2016-2017
Annual Donor Report The investments of MSOE supporters propel the dreams of our students. The MSOE Honor Roll of Donors is our acknowledgement of those who graciously supported the university during 2016-17 fiscal year. Their generosity supports an education that is uniquely the MSOE experience. As a result, students have the opportunity to earn an MSOE degree today and improve all of our lives tomorrow. On behalf of every student at MSOE we thank you. Dear Friends of MSOE, 2018 will be the 115th year in MSOEβs tremendous history. With every success that our students and graduates bring into their careers, their communities and into their families it is clear that we are doing an outstanding job educating the leaders of tomorrow. The national rankings, awards and recognition that your university continues to garner are just further proof of our success. As we look to expand our reach into 2018 and beyond we will be looking to you for your continued support, advocacy and investment. Our strategic planning process is officially underway and the working committee kicked off their efforts at the end of August. This committee consists of over 40 people representing MSOE administrators, faculty, staff, alumni and students. Their work will continue throughout the fall and will focus on five distinct capabilities of our university β people, scholarship, education programs, internal operations, and external relations. Itβs an important undertaking for our university and will set the course for our future. Many institutions would love to replicate our success. Accordingly, we can never afford to rest on our laurels and must always strive to improve. The good news is that we are already doing the hard part β attracting great students and providing them an outstanding education that prepares them to succeed β and by capitalizing on the collective skills and expertise of our faculty and staff, along with the support of our friends and alumni, there is no challenge we cannot overcome. What an exciting opportunity! These accomplishments do not come without a tremendous amount of help, and we are indeed fortunate to have a wonderful group of supporters who generously contribute their time and resources β like you! Your support helps us keep our facilities up-to-date, expands our educational offerings both inside and outside of the classroom, and provides scholarships that make the great education we offer as affordable as possible. Thank you for all that you do to make this university exceptional. I look forward to meeting and working with you. With very best regards,
John Y. Walz, Ph.D President 1
