A Transformational Gift Supports Our Students
On December 9, 2021, the College of Engineering and Integrated Design (CEID) received a transformational gift of $20 million from our long-time supporters Margie and Bill Klesse. In recognition of their generosity, the University of Texas Board of Regents approved our request to formally name our college the Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design. The Klesse's gift will enable the college to expand its scholarship support for students, create endowments for faculty recruitment and retention, and support student success. Through this gift, our efforts to identify and solve grand challenges where humanity intersects with the physical world were bolstered significantly.
