Fred and June Kummer
I owe much of my success to the education I received at Rolla. My Rolla experience taught me how to think, how to work hard and how to manage my own career. June and I believe in the mission of this great university, and that's why we have chosen to invest in S&T's future success. We believe that Missouri S&T's best days are ahead."
