Each academic quarter, graduating students at 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. In more than a small way, these individuals had a positive and significant influence on the life of one or more students.
At a time of much concern over the educational skills and competencies of our nation's young people, MSOE wishes to recognize those who have had a significant influence on their students' future educational achievement and career goals. Not only does MSOE shine a spotlight on its graduates, but also recognize and thank those, who in some important way, motivated them, inspired them and helped make it happen for them.
Good Shepherd Christian Academy teacher Jennifer Beierman received the VIP 
Excellence in High School Teaching Award from Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). Beierman was nominated by her former student Emily Knowlen, who graduated from MSOE with bachelor's degrees in architectural engineering and construction management.
In nominating Beierman for the award, Knowlen said, "Mrs. Beierman is an inspiration to me. I remember how she would answer any of our questions and do her best to ensure we really understood the subject matter. She instilled and nurtured in me an excitement for science and math and how they describe the world. Mrs. Beierman went beyond teaching me the academics I needed to know to set up a strong base for me to build on in college."
