 I'm Mike Krausky and I'm the Director of Corporate Relations for the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Mike grew up on the south side of Milwaukee. His backyard actually budded up to the property of Rockwell. So it's interesting that he had these relations with Rockwell down the line while working at UWM. My father had a number of degrees. He had a bachelor's degree in engineering. I think he had like two or three master's degree. He truly was passionate about learning and education and he really felt that that was a way for people to find happiness and also financial success. As my supervisor, really let me do what I do best here but at the same time he was always there to provide support, suggestions if needed and to help make career services better for both our students and the employers that we work with. Mike could bring in terms of impact for students was obviously the sense of care and concern but more specifically a lot of the internships and a lot of the partnerships where we would have opportunities that were created by partnerships and when you think about professional schools there's not a lot that's more important than to have those types of opportunities for our students to really benefit from. I wouldn't have had my opportunity to come work at Rockwell Automation and I was very focused when I started working with Mike on pursuing a technical career. Mike convinced me that there were a ton of opportunities in corporate America in business development and business leadership and helped me find my opportunity at Rockwell and I've had a really fun career at Rockwell Automation thanks to Mike's support. In the business environment he was a true professional. I admired his technical engineering skills and he was able to connect with a lot of people. Mike and I we work closely on many industry related projects and we also work very closely in the poster competition. I think we were the ones that get this whole initiative started. The poster competition I think is a phenomenal display of our strengths of our students and of our strengths around the promotion of STEM education. There are hundreds of conversations going on between students, between faculty, between industry and just a huge technical exchange. Really something that was very important in the program for the college and really also for area businesses and area industries. His main role was to try to recruit the judges and we need 70, 80 people from industry to come in and give up a Saturday to be a part of this and this was no easy task particularly in the beginning. He loved working at the university. He really did and he always said he wanted to stay until he was 70 and he felt like that would really ground out his career nicely. He took a leave of absence from the university but was still technically an employee and I think his last day of employment was on a Friday when he officially retired and it was the subsequent Monday when he passed. So that's just a testament to how much he loved it and I don't think he can ever say he didn't want to be there. I'm Mike Krausky and I'm a Milwaukee engineer.
