The University of Wisconsin-Madison\u2019s Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE)<\/a> celebrated its annual Scholarship Reception on Thursday, November 14, 2024, in the atrium of the Mechanical Engineering Building. The event gathered scholarship recipients, faculty, and alumni donors for an evening dedicated to honoring academic achievement and expressing gratitude for the support that makes these scholarships possible. Family and friends of the scholarship recipients also attended the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, 106 students received a total of $289,000 in scholarships through the generosity of many donors, ensuring that these talented individuals can focus on their studies, research, and professional development without the added burden of financial concerns. Dr. Shiyu Zhou<\/a>, chair of the department, welcomed attendees with remarks emphasizing the critical role of these scholarships in shaping the future of the department and the industrial and systems engineering field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the distinguished donors in attendance were alumni Jeff Roznowski,<\/a> Nancy Spelsberg Jourdan<\/a>, and Sandy Ringelstetter<\/a>, all of whom are past members of the UW-ISyE Department’s Industrial Advisory Board (IAB). These alumni have made significant contributions to the department, providing both financial support and strategic guidance over the years. Their involvement continues to be a vital part of the department\u2019s growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event concluded with a reception, which provided an opportunity for students to personally thank the donors who have made their scholarships possible. Informal conversations allowed students to share their experiences and express their gratitude, while donors were able to hear firsthand about the positive impact of their contributions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UW-ISyE department\u2019s scholarship program is integral to the department\u2019s mission of providing world-class education and fostering the next generation of engineering leaders. With the continued generosity of alumni and donors, the department is well-positioned to support its students as they take on the challenges and opportunities of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
