Hesse Scholar Program

The Hesse Learning Resource Center is dedicated to former College of Engineering Dean Herman Hesse and his wife, Helen. Dean Hesse served as the Dean of Engineering from 1949 until 1965, and guided the transformation of a newly reinstituted program into a fully accredited college. Upon their deaths, the couple left more than $3.6 million to benifit  engineering students, including the Hesse Scholars serving as tutors. Their love for students lives on through the scholorships and services provided as part of the Center's program.
