DONOR STORIES

From Student to Steward: A Journey of Gratitude

Dr. Ed Raether ’68 is a familiar and friendly face to many within the MSOE community. Whether he’s driving around the golf course at the President’s Golf Outing or attending a Regents meeting, Raether has remained a dedicated and active member of his alma mater for nearly 60 years.

A Life of Teaching, A Legacy of Giving

In high school, Dr. Larry Fennigkoh ’74, ’86 already knew he was destined to attend MSOE, but it wasn’t until his sophomore year of college when he discovered his true passion to pursue a career in biomedical engineering.

Redefining Giving Back

From volunteering her time to spearheading a matching gift challenge, junior civil engineering major Helen Bechthold is redefining what it means to give back.

Building from the Ground Up

When Jason Schneider ’03 graduated with his degree in construction management, he never imagined the amazing impact he and a team of other MSOE grads would have on helping transform the student learning experience for future generations of Raiders.

Alumnus Invests in Tomorrow’s Talent

In the two decades since graduating from MSOE in computer engineering, MSOE Regent and alumnus Nick Haemel ’02 has remained invested in the future of his alma mater and the students it serves.
