“Online and virtual tools will continue to become a larger component of how universities educate and operate. This change is a major focus of the strategic planning work we are doing at MSOE,” said Dr. John Walz, president. “Steve has nearly 20 years of experience at MSOE and has played an integral role in developing our strategic plan. In addition, there is a significant amount of synergy in having both our virtual and physical facilities managed by the same person, as our physical spaces should be designed to capture the power and flexibility offered by modern digital tools.”
