The Department of Fire Protection Engineering’s (FPE) Legacy Campaign for a Professor of the Practice received a boost from Rhino Fire Protection Engineering this summer. The company’s  $100,000 commitment to the endowed fund will help ensure that the practical side of the profession remains a permanent part of the department. 

“We wanted to give back to the department that provided us with an outstanding education and also help continue support for the high standards of the university,” explains Rhino founder John Mitros (B.S. ’98).

With the Rhino gift and the recent $50,000 commitment from AcuTech (Dave Moore, B.S. ’79), the campaign is currently just shy of the $1,500,000 mark. Will your gift be the one that puts us over the edge?
