Dear Colleagues,

 

I am writing to inform that Jay (BSChE '74) and Cindy Ihlenfeld have demonstrated tremendous generosity in endowing the School’s Headship - their gift will benefit the School in perpetuity.

 

To name the headship, Jay and Cindy Ihlenfeld have signed an agreement to contribute $1.5 million over a three-year period, while the College of Engineering will provide $500,000 in matching funds.  When matured, the total $2 million gift will provide approximately $100,000 annually “to be used for the benefit of the School of Chemical Engineering, as determined by the Head of the School with the approval of the Dean of the College of Engineering.” 

 

In collaboration with UDO and the Dean’s office, we are trying to determine the most appropriate way to honor Jay and Cindy on campus for their gift.  I will inform you when the plans are certain.

 

As you are aware, Jay has had an outstanding career with 3M, including service as the company’s CTO for many years before assuming his current position as Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific about four years ago.  He received both the OChE and DEA awards in 2001.

My first message with the new title was to Jay and Cindy – this is the second message.  

   

Best,

 

Arvind
