Paul McNally, a UWM Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the Department of Computer Science, has added to his already generous support of the College with a recent new gift, bringing his total giving to over $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One-quarter of the amount sets up an unrestricted fund for computer science. Another $250,000 is a cash gift for a use to be determined.\u00a0McNally pledged the rest of the gift to the College when he included the UWM Foundation in his estate plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2016 planned gift from McNally established the McNally Family Veterans Scholarship endowment in the College. It is McNally\u2019s intent that the scholarships give UWM student veterans, especially those who have service-connected disabilities, the opportunity to prepare for a career in computer science or computer engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the 2016 gift also supports the Girls Who Code outreach initiative and the UWM Veterans Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McNally holds a master\u2019s degree and began teaching computer science in the College in 1997. A U.S. Army veteran, he served on active duty from 1976 to 1987 and then in the reserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
