LONGVIEW — LeTourneau University dedicated its Materials Joining Engineering Building Thursday morning with a spectacular shower of arcs and sparks during a special torch-cutting ceremony to honor longtime faculty member Bill Kielhorn.
Kielhorn, who has never missed a class during his 45 years of teaching at the university, was recently featured on ABCNEWS.com for teaching the final class of his career from his hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit of Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview April 28.
Materials joining engineering professor Dr. Yoni Adonyi presented a special, torch-cutting event to honor Kielhorn and to celebrate $1.15 million in renovations to the building that will take place this summer.
