The SLC would like to thank Dick Moll, professor emeritus of engineering professional development and materials science and engineering, for his generous donation and sponsorship of a College of Engineering (CoE) student's attendance at a national session of The LeaderShape Institute.^® Moll spent 42 years at UW-Madison and taught hundreds of courses in his specialty — product safety and product liability prevention. He retired from the CoE in 2008. Moll is a huge advocate of service learning and leadership development opportunities for students and believes in the benefits these programs provide, both to society and to the students. The mission and intended outcomes of The LeaderShape Institute^® inspired him to give, as this dynamic six-day program is designed to produce a breakthrough in the leadership capacity of its participants — benefiting not only the students themselves, but also their respective campuses and organizations they will go on to lead and serve in the future. Moll’s gift was matched by the College of Engineering through a grant received from the Pieper Family Foundation.
