Moving On

Since IRE began, we have had the invaluable assistance of Nick Lefebvre, our Program Coordinator. Nick, a mechanical engineer fresh out of school, dedicated himself to the betterment of this program. He arranged unique opportunities, from tours and lunches, to a spring break trip to the west coast. He would solve problems before anyone else knew they existed, while making sure we as students had everything we need. Nick did all these things and many more, and recently he has taken a well deserved opportunity to advance his career, with an engineering position at Hibbing Taconite. Nick brought his determination, problem solving skills, and so much more to IRE, which has shaped it in ways we may never fully know. He will bring this to every job, and make himself and his company better for it.

I worked as an IRE Intern for one summer, where I had the opportunity to learn from Nick. His actions and advice helped me to significantly develop my professionalism and problem solving skills. The example he set will help me for years to come.
