IN MEMORIAM:
Professor
Peter J. Bosscher
 rofessor Peter
J. Bosscher died Nov. 18 after a struggle with cancer. A geotechnical
engineer, Bosscher studied many aspects related to soil-structure interactions,
developed data-collection systems for a variety of applications, and
investigated how to incorporate waste materials into materials used
in construction. To help emphasize to students that learning and service
go hand in hand, he founded and advised the UW-Madison chapter of
Engineers Without Borders, a student group that has traveled
to Africa, South America and Asia to help residents build sustainable
basic infrastructure systems.
To carry on Peter’s work, we have established
the Peter J. Bosscher Engineers Without Borders Fund
(fund #12344037). Mail contributions (specify fund number on check)
to: UW-Foundation, US Bank Lockbox, PO Box 78807, Milwaukee, WI 53278,
or contribute online at uwfoundation.wisc.edu.
