Mike was very passionate about providing cross cultural global experiences to engineering students. At his core, he was an engineer, in his heart he was a leader, providing countless opportunities for his students to learn, grow, and experience the world. But he also had a spirit for adventure. These pictures show Mike helping students troubleshoot issues with the Baobab processing machine, a successful demonstration of the Baobab machine grinding the fruit to powder, and my favorite picture of Mike on a trip to see gorillas in the wild. While I had the opportunity to go on many international trips with Mike, I did not go on the one where he visited the gorillas but it is my favorite picture. He was absolutely thrilled and this picture perfectly captures the utter joy on his face. - Dena Lang
