An Opportunity to Make an Impact
To celebrate our 50th anniversary in a meaningful way, we need your help in establishing a new, general endowment fund. Thanks to the generosity of a distinguished alumnus, we have the lead commitment to establish the William Smith Endowed Program Support Fund in Geology. Additional information can be found here.
Sponsorship
We gratefully acknowledge contributions by the Department of Geology, the College of Computer, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University Relations and an anonymous donor to make this celebration possible.
