Thank you for supporting the Kristi Kiick Engineering Education Ecosystem (E3) Support Fund. Your gift will honor Kristi Kiick’s extraordinary legacy and ensure that her dedication to scientific discovery, engineering education and opportunity for others continues for generations to come.

Kristi was a distinguished scientist, educator and advocate whose commitment to the University of Delaware and the broader scientific and engineering community left a profound and lasting impact. A leader in her field, Kristi was widely respected for her pioneering research at the intersection of materials science, polymer chemistry and biomedical engineering, where her work advanced understanding and innovation in biomaterials with applications in human health.

Her dedication to the University of Delaware extended beyond her own research program. Kristi was a passionate champion of the engineering ecosystem at UD, supporting students, faculty and collaborative initiatives across disciplines. In recognition of this commitment, Kristi and her family established the Kristi Kiick Engineering Education Ecosystem (E3) Support Fund to strengthen engineering education and research at the University of Delaware.

The Kristi Kiick Engineering Education Ecosystem (E3) Support Fund is an endowed fund designed to last in perpetuity. All contributions made to this fund are restricted for use according to the agreement of the endowment.
