Bob Nuber
B.S. Computer Science 1978
Bob Nuber retired in the Fall of 2021 after forty-three years in the computer industry, a delightful journey sparked by two first year introductions at MSU.
Bob was hooked with his first programming experience as a first-year, which led to more programming classes and a TA position the following year. That effort enabled him to qualify for his first "real" computing job, happily working odd hours for two years as a systems programmer in the MSU Computer Laboratory. To top that, through another first-year happenstance Bob met Betty Shanahan, a relationship that grew over four years from classmate to learning partner to best friend to life partner.
Married a week after graduation in June 1978, the couple moved to Massachusetts to launch parallel careers in the computer industry. After five years with a minicomputer company Bob joined an enterprise networking startup, broadening his skills as that business matured into a publicly traded company. During that period Bob continued his education with a master's degree in software engineering and an MBA in entrepreneurship. A relocation to Chicago in the mid 1990s allowed Bob to elevate his career as a technology leader in startups, a managed services consultancy, a national newspaper publisher and finally a global e-commerce leader.
Bob's active support of the MSU College of Engineering is driven by three core beliefs: First, 21st Century social and economic progress demand engineering innovations. Second, engineering innovations demand diverse teams, where limitations based on age, gender or color are counter-productive. Third, MSU is uniquely positioned to lead the way on the first two beliefs given its land-grant pedigree, its academic breadth and its role in the state of Michigan. Spartan Engineers Will.
