We feel passionately that the three prongs in this gift — the student scholarships, the faculty fellowships, and the dean’s fund — will positively impact the lives of engineering and technology students for years to come.”

“Each individual has their own passion for giving back to Indiana State University. For me… [it is] my witnessing of the ISU Foundation to carry out each donor's wishes and the university's commitment to seeing that deserving students get the help they need to graduate.”

“As a first-generation college student myself, Indiana State lit my passion to dedicate myself to helping others transform their lives in the same way that my life had been transformed. Now it is time for me to give back so that others may have the same opportunity that I had here at State.”
