"The Sunderland Foundation recognizes the outstanding work being done by Kansas State University in the field of engineering," said Kent Sunderland, president of the Sunderland Foundation.

"The Sunderland Foundation has a long history of support for higher education at K-State," he said. "The foundation's most recent gift to the college in support of our Academic Success Center is one more example of its generosity and belief in putting forth the best educational experience possible for our future graduates in engineering and computer and construction sciences."
