Letter From the VP Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement 

As we celebrate National Engineers Week, I am reminded that the true strength of Lawrence Technological University lies in the bridges we build between theory and practice.  

I am continuously impressed by the spirit and ingenuity of our alumni. Take Brad and Amber Foley, engineering grads who have applied their education to the challenge of sailing the world full-time; Chris Jurczak, thriving in the aerospace industry; and Axey Vang, our talented alumni relations specialist.  

You will also read more about Hsiao-Ping Moore, PhD, retired Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, whose leadership was instrumental in securing LTU’s prestigious Howard Hughes grant—a milestone made possible by her vision and research background.  

We look forward to recognizing Moore, along with standout alumni Renee Tomina and our keynote speaker, FUTEK CEO Javad Mokhbery, at our Scholarship Gala on May 16. This premier event raises vital funds that turn student ambition into reality. I invite you to secure your tickets at ltu.edu/thegala.  

We want to hear your story, too! Please reach out to us at alumni@ltu.edu to share your latest milestones.  

Go Blue Devils! 

Kevin Finn
