Paul F. Engler passed away Friday, May 3, 2024, at the age of 94. This is Paul’s personal reflection on giving, which was originally published in Portraits of Philanthropy in 2010. "That’s why we started the Paul F. Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the university. We did it for the young people who have that fire in the belly, the ones out there who think there is a better way of doing things, who want to be a little bit different than the other person."
