The Kielhorn Endowed Professorship was created through the generous contribution of LeTourneau University Welding Engineering alumni and the American Welding Society to honor the memory of distinguished LETU professor Mr. William “Bill” Kielhorn. Professor Kielhorn first joined LeTourneau University as a student, graduating in 1959. Seven years later, in 1966, he returned to LeTourneau as a faculty member. For 45 years, Kielhorn diligently educated succeeding generations of welding engineers and welding engineering technologists at LeTourneau University, retiring in May 2011. Despite being hospitalized for stage IV colon cancer during his last semester, Kielhorn never missed a class in his entire 45-year career. The Kielhorn Professorship supports the growth of the welding engineering faculty at LeTourneau University and furthers our mission of training up future generations of welding engineers and welding engineering technologists.
