Student using library study room, which was upgraded with funds from the UMCOE Foundation.
In late 2011, the UMCOE Foundation had paid for most of its initial startup costs and the Board of Directors agreed to make a contribution to the College of Engineering of $10,000. The COE’s priorities were reviewed for an appropriate project for that amount, and it was agreed to use this contribution to upgrade a room near the COE Library to make it into a Study Room, with new construction, equipment and furniture. That project was completed in 2012 and the room was “dedicated” on October 18, 2013, with a plaque acknowledging the alumni donations made through the Foundation.
