An Invitation to Become One of The Dean's Partners for Engineering Education Western Michigan University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Teamwork, collaboration, partnerships - these are critical to the success of any engineering enterprise. Engineering education is no exception.
Time and again, WMU has turned to the professional community to assure its engineering programs remain on the cutting edge and provide the kind of education industry demands. By serving on engineering advisory boards, acting as guest lecturers, sponsoring student design projects or contributing research equipment, the college's alumni and other engineering partners from the professional community have helped the college achieve its current reputation for turning out engineers well grounded in theory and its practical applications.
Today, we face a future that is brighter than ever. In the coming years, we will move into a new building that will offer our students state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. That building will be part of a complex that will include the corporate homes for some of the state's top names in high-technology engineering.
Your support is critical at this exciting point in our history. As dean of the College of Engineering, I invite you to enter into a special relationship with our faculty and students by becoming one of the Dean's Partners for Engineering Education. Your support will give the college the strength and flexibility needed to move quickly forward during this exciting period of growth. We want to recognize your support, keep you apprised of the latest developments within the college and offer you opportunities to develop deeper ties with the programs most important to you.
The Dean's Partners in Engineering Education program will recognize your cumulative gifts to the college, including all past gifts, current pledges and duly documented future gifts, as well as those all-important annual gifts. Alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, associations, faculty, staff and students are among those who might qualify, through their support, as partners.
