Resch cited his experience in the paper industry and his more than 35 years of leadership at KI that have shown him the importance of a regional engineering program and higher education in general.

"Throughout my tenure at KI, it's made the needs of higher education a priority. Everyone at KI … takes great pride in helping colleges and universities create learning environments that will produce the next generation of leaders in innovation,” Resch said. “It's my sincere hope the new engineering school at UWGB will do this, too.”
