Kevin M. Gilligan (BSE IOE ’88) and Angela H. Gilligan of Appleton, Wisconsin, have made a $50,000 gift and documented a bequest to establish the Kevin M. Gilligan and Angela H. Gilligan Endowed Fund to provide need-based support to full-time undergraduates in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering.

In 2014, Kevin assumed the position of president of the Paper Division at Appvion, an employee-owned paper coatings and specialty chemical manufacturer based in Appleton. He is a member of the IOE Advisory Board.
