Engineering and Science Foundation : History

Foundation Monument

1958, a group of Engineering graduates met several times and determined that an organization was needed to provide an opportunity for graduates to maintain contact with and demonstrate continued interest in the College of Engineering and the University. The Foundation was formed and then incorporated In 1961 it received IRS approval as a non-profit organization for the support of education.

The Foundation functioned at a moderate level of activity until the late 1970's at which time a decision was made to become more effective in developing financial assistance and a three year campaign was started in 1982. Activity subsided once again after the drive.

In 1996, the decision was made to move the Board into a proactive mode, to be more supportive of the College and address issues where the Dean and the College needed external input. Since that time, external input has become a major factor in ABET accreditation. The Foundation now essentially functions as an advisory group for the Dean and the College.

The Board of Directors approved changing the Foundation’s name in 1997 to reflect Engineering's merger with Chemistry, Math and Physics to form the College of Engineering and Science.
