At the U-M Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE), we empower our students to design solutions that improve the lives of everyday people. This Giving Blueday, we’re asking our IOE community of alums, staff, faculty, parents and friends to rally behind us and invest in the next generation of IOE problem solvers.
To aid in this effort, all gifts today will be matched dollar to dollar when given to the IOE Impact Fund or the Engels Family Foundation Stephen Pollock Fellowship Fund! This is valid up to $10,000.
No matter the size, your gift makes a difference. Join us in shaping the future of IOE and ensuring our students have the resources to thrive. Thank you for being part of our community!
