Irma M. Wyman was a 1949 graduate of the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, one of two women in her class. She became involved with the computer industry in its early stages and rose to become the first female vice president at Honeywell, Inc., then a Fortune 100 company. After retirement from the corporate world, she served 10 years as Archdeacon of the Diocese of Minnesota. Having benefited during her education from both the financial and psychological support of a Regents Scholarship, she established the Irma M. Wyman Scholarship in 1996 to provide a similar boost to others. Through a bequest to CEW+, Irma also created an endowment for a student program fund in addition to her scholarship. This student organization grant program is funded by Irma’s bequest. CEW+ celebrates the life of Irma Wyman, who died in November 2015 at the age of 87.
