When Richard Schreiner (MS \u201982, computer science) thinks about what helps engineering and computer science students succeed, he remembers how tough those first semesters can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why, in 2021, he helped establish a fund that supports a Student Success Center in the college. Students can get peer tutoring, build confidence in math and computer science, and find a community that supports them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His latest gift of $10,000 will help keep that momentum going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The center has had a remarkable impact, especially for students who are the first in their families to attend college \u2013 which is one-third of undergraduates in the college. Some arrive under-prepared for calculus-based engineering coursework. The Success Center helps fill that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student response tells the story: usage jumped from 2,000 visits in 2022\u201323 to 3,000 in 2023\u201324. With freshman enrollment in the college up 34% this fall \u2013 and every new engineering freshman now taking at least one engineering course \u2013 the need for peer tutors and mentors has never been greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks Schreiner\u2019s third gift to the fund, reflecting his steady belief in the importance of helping students persist and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His support also includes the “Richard C. Schreiner \u201982 and Alison Graf Engineering Scholarship<\/em>,” an endowed scholarship open to any undergraduate with financial need and strong academic promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A loyal 51ÁÔÆæ supporter since 1987, Schreiner has contributed to programs across campus \u2013 from W51ÁÔÆæ-FM and OSHER Lifelong Learning to scholarships honoring beloved professors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
