Herbert Wertheim visits Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering on October 3, 2025, to celebrate 10 years of the Wertheim Transformation.

On October 3, we proudly welcome Dr. Herbert “Herbie” Wertheim back to campus as we celebrate 10 years of the Wertheim Transformation. Since our college was renamed in his honor on October 1, 2015, Dr. Wertheim’s visionary $50 million gift has created a legacy that inspires pride in how far we’ve come, and excitement for how far we’ll go.  

His generosity catalyzed a $300 million campaign, empowered generations of students and faculty, and continues to inspire groundbreaking discovery and impact. This special visit is both a reminder of the roots of our transformation and a celebration of the forward-looking spirit that defines us. 

Thanks to Herbie, we are not only Powering the New Engineer to Transform the Future – we are Future Ready
