When students doubt their ability to succeed or are unsure about their plans for after high school, Raphael “Tito” Marzo has a simple but powerful message for them: “Sí se puede” — or “Yes you can.”
This is the same message Marzo, who will graduate in December with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Missouri S&T, heard countless times four years ago when he attended the Sí Se Puede program coordinated by the university’s student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
When Dr. Joshua P. Schlegel envisioned what his career would be like during his youth, he says he didn’t anticipate he would one day be an award-winning educator.
But that’s exactly what he is, as he was recently recognized at Missouri S&T’s annual faculty awards banquet as a 2024 recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.
