MILWAUKEE, WI (06/13/2012)(readMedia)-- Each academic quarter, graduating students from MSOE are invited to nominate an individual from their own secondary school experience or their working experience-someone who not only "knew her/his stuff," but could communicate it, and whose commitment to others included encouragement of further educational and career goals. MSOE is proud to recognize those who have had a significant influence on their students' futures. Not only does MSOE shine a spotlight on its graduates, but also thank those, who in some important way, motivated them, inspired them and helped make it happen for them.

Neenah (Wis.) High School teacher Rich Frost received the VIP Excellence in Teaching Award from MSOE. Frost was nominated by his former student Paul Gessler, who graduated with honors from MSOE with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

In nominating Frost for the award, Gessler said, "Mr. Frost is an outstanding educator because his teaching style encourages students to ask questions about material rather than take his word for it. His style also promotes the higher-level synthesis-type thought process required in higher education and beyond, especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields."
