Houghton, Michigan – December 1, 2015 – An alumnus of Michigan Technological University who made a $2 million gift to his alma mater’s Physics Department just months ago, has made an identical gift to another department within the University.
Richard Henes, a 1948 graduate of Michigan Tech, has donated $2 million to the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics (ME-EM).
In September Michigan Tech announced that Henes had donated $2 million to establish The Elizabeth and Richard Henes Center for Quantum Phenomena within the Department of Physics.
According to William Predebon, chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics, Henes’ latest gift will be used to fund an endowed faculty position, faculty/department development and student development.
