Corporations and individuals celebrated an announcement in February 2018 by the UW System Board of Regents giving UW-Green Bay the green light to provide engineering programs to the region. Richard J. Resch, recently retired CEO of international office furniture manufacturer, KI, announced his support of the University’s visionary engineering plan with a $5 million gift. “I’m proud to support UW-Green Bay, one of the pillars of our community, with this gift,” Resch shared. “Everyone at KI, from our product designers and engineers to our sales staff and technicians, takes great pride in helping colleges and universities create learning environments that will produce the next generation of leaders and innovators. It is my sincere hope that this gift will allow UW-Green Bay to do just that.”
