Caption: Peter Bosscher, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of civil engineering who died of cancer in November 2007, was long the guiding force behind the campus chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). Bosscher led student EWB service expeditions to a number of developing countries, where the group applied engineering expertise to improve quality of life. Bosscher's legacy continues to reward the UW-Madison chapter, as a memorial fund established in his honor has enabled the group to become debt-free in 2008 and focus on ongoing initiatives in El Salvador, Rwanda and Kenya.
