 My name is Richard Schreiner. I'm a 1982 graduate of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. I have a master's degree in computer science. I've been active in the university almost continuously since I graduated, part of the time with the Alumni Association and also working with the Development Department. Through those years, I've learned a lot about how the cost of a college education has just continued to rise relentlessly in the struggles that all students have to finance their college education. Happily, I'm in a situation where I've been able to make a contribution to student scholarship, and I'm very happy to be able to have done this. First of all, I'm going to be endowing a full-ride scholarship for in-state tuition, but on top of that, a unique opportunity was presented to me by the university. The College of Engineering and Applied Science has a Student Success Center, which is something that is really near and dear to me because of my personal history as a student. The Student Success Center has the purpose of helping students who need some extra help, especially in their freshman and sophomore years, if they need group study, if they need tutoring, if they need some kind of remediation. This is all crucial and can make a crucial difference between a student succeeding or failing. In my case, I went to a high school which did not offer any kind of calculus, no basic calculus, no pre-calculus, and certainly no advanced placement calculus. When I got to undergraduate school, I was just thrown into the regular freshman calculus class with everyone else, not even having the slightest idea what the subject was. I struggled and I struggled, and if I'd been smart, I probably would have just dropped out of the class and gotten some remediation. Well, I didn't. I got through. I stuck it out, but I sure depended on a lot of help, and I had to find that help myself. I went back and found my high school math teacher who happened to be capable of teaching calculus and who was more than happy to loan me books and tutor. This is the kind of service that the Student Success Center offers today to UWM College of Engineering students. I think it's a great program and I hope that many students will be able to take advantage of this for many years to come.
