He received his baccalaureate in civil engineering from Harvard University in 1935. During his student years, he played varsity football and lacrosse for the Crimson and captained the 1934 football team. He was named to various All-Eastern and All-American football teams and played for the College All-Star Squad against the Chicago Bears in the 1935 All-Star Game. Following graduation, he played professional football with the Boston Redskins for a brief period before returning to Houghton to manage his family's construction business. From 1941 to 1946, he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was discharged with the rank of Major. Following the war, he returned to Houghton and built Gundlach Construction into one of the largest and most respected general contracting firms in Michigan. From 1946 until he retired in 1988, Gundlach Construction built many, if not most, of the major structures in the Upper Peninsula. Among the buildings constructed by Gundlach are many of the Michigan Tech buildings including Dillman Hall, the home of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Herman was President of Copper Country Concrete Corporation, President of Douglass House Hotel Corporation, Chair and President of Houghton National Bank and served on the boards of several other corporations. Included in Mr. Gundlach's impressive list of honors are: Past President and Honorary Life Member of the Michigan Chapter, Associated General Contractors; Fellow of ASCE; Director and Chair, Barbara Kettle Gundlach Shelter Home; Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame; Dial Help Outstanding Service Award; National Organization for Women, Outstanding Service Award; Harvard Sports Hall of Fame; and others too numerous to mention. Herman was a member of the Michigan Tech President's Club, received the Michigan Tech Distinguished Service Award in 1983, and was elected to the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 1988. Over the years, he has been a special friend of the civil and environmental engineering students at Michigan Tech. Herman was married to Barbara Kettle Gundlach who passed away in 1983. He has four daughters and four grandchildren. Herman Gundlach passed away in 2005 (excerpted from http://www.cee.mtu.edu/alumni/academy/photos-jpg/14Gundlach.html, accessed June 3, 2010).

The University of Texas at El Paso Library. C.L. Sonnichsen Special Collections Department University of Texas at El Paso Biography or Historical Sketch Created by Senate Bill 183, the State School of Mines and Metallurgy was founded in 1913 due to El Pasoans’ requests for a school to train mining engineers and metallurgists to help support the local mining and smelting industries. In 1914 the State School of Mines opened on land and buildings east of Ft. Bliss that were formerly occupied by the El Paso Military Institute. University of Texas Regents named Stephen Worrell as the first dean. On its official opening day, September 23, 1914, twenty-seven male students enrolled in the School. By 1916 two women, Ruth Brown and Grace Odell, also enrolled. Later that year a fire destroyed the School’s main building and the campus relocated to land donated by El Pasoans in the Sunset Heights area. After viewing British explorer’s Jean Claude White’s photographs of the Kingdom of Bhutan in the April 1914 issue of National Geographic, Kathleen Worrell, wife of the dean, recommended that the new campus adopt Bhutanese-style architecture because of the similarities between Bhutan’s and El Paso’s landscapes.

  • PBGC Enterprise Architecture Blueprint
    Enterprise Architecture Blueprint EA Blueprint PBGC Enterprise Architecture Executive Summary Plans and specifications are needed to build anything complex. The same is true for applications supporting PBGC’s strategic goals and demanding business needs. The PBGC Enterprise Architecture Blueprint version 2.0 builds on past standards and initiatives and continues to add the standards necessary to achieve our target architecture. This blueprint promotes solutions that focus IT efforts on meeting business needs and supporting corporate goals. It describes the underlying framework, the shared services, and the standardized components that will be used to build the new architecture.. The blueprint defines the guiding principles and approach to development that lead to our target architecture. The target architecture is business driven and highly integrated with strategic planning and customer and business needs. We are implementing a component-based architecture that will allow PBGC to assemble applications from shared services within the corporation and inter-agency sharing of common business functions when available. The architecture is dynamic, tied to both the business and the development communities. Members benefit from and contribute to it. To support the development of core services and new application, this blueprint primarily focuses on the details of the application domain that are critical to system developers building services, components, and applications. The Enterprise Architecture includes the processes, tools and information stores that identify the links between the business vision, the business processes, and IT. IT is further elaborated as Development, QA, Security, Application Integration, Data/Information, and Deployment architectures. This organization-wide EA framework and associated initiatives are cited in the PBGC ’04-’08 Strategic Plan as a foundation for Cross Cutting Goal C3, “IT Management Strategies.” This supports PBGC lines of business, cost-efficiency goals, and the President’s Management Agenda.
