With a major gift from the S&R Pieper Family Foundation, MSOE has established an endowed chairmanship to promote the concept of "servant-leadership" at the university. The faculty position is known as The Pieper Family Endowed Chair for Servant-Leadership, and it was funded by the S&R Pieper Family Foundation.
The holder of the chair is responsible for helping faculty integrate the concept into current philosophy and ethics courses and develop a new course on the topic. On the student life side, he or she helps integrate the philosophy throughout the social fabric and culture of the university through extracurricular programs. He works closely with both the vice president of academics and the vice president for student life offices.
The Office of Servant Leadership is located in K-240, adjacent to the Counseling Services and Health Services offices.
