Joe and Kit Troxler
Fund (1537)
The family of Dr.
Joseph Troxler, Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering, recently
established the Joe and Kit Troxler Fund-a scholarship endowment to honor Dr.
Troxler’s life and work, and to remember his wife, Kit.
Dr. Troxler was
part of the original group of professors hired to start an engineering college
at what was to become Northern Arizona University.
During his tenure
at Northern Arizona University, he held numerous positions and levels of
responsibility and started several programs. Alumni will remember that Dr.
Troxler was deeply involved with the Mechanical Engineering students’ dune
buggy races, and traveled with the team. He was also Associate Dean of
Engineering, President of the University Heights Association and ran the co-op
program matching students with employers around the state.
Kit supported Joe
in his career and spent her time volunteering in the community. Their home was
always open to students, staff and faculty, alike.
Given their enduring commitment to students, this fund
was created to allow Joe and Kit to continue to assist in the education of
current engineering students.
