The Shiley School of Engineering has received a $100,000 gift from Greg and Gloria Shean of San Antonio, Texas, according to the development office. Greg Shean received a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University in 1969 and earlier had established the Greg Shean ’69 Engineering Endowed Financial Aid Fund, which now totals more than $170,000. While attending the University of Portland, Shean also completed his training in Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). He was an Air Force officer for 23 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel. His career included working with large radar, computer acquisition and computer security. He later taught high school math for 12 years in San Antonio, where he and his wife both retired. Gloria Shean was a registered operating room nurse for 30 years with the VA in a career that overlapped with 28 years in the Air Force Reserves and 10 years of active duty.
