I ask Chancellor Herbert, President Lombardi, Provost Capaldi, and CLAS alumni fundraising czar, Al O'Neill, to keep in mind some of the modest presents listed below that would look good under the CLAS holiday tree. I have only a few of these naming opportunities left, so don't wait too long. Note also that not only does this fund a great program, but another UF historic building becomes renovated. A real win-win. We seek an endowed senior position, the occupant of which will provide leadership in this area.
Much work remains to be done.
The provost is providing 5th floor renovations this year, for which I am grateful. New positions for secretaries, engineers, computer managers, and lab technicians would be appreciated. Given the financial straits of most graduate students, stipend level takes on undue significance. I will stop here to avoid the slightest appearance of unreasonableness, but a more complete list is available upon request. And remember, CLAS is always a good investment.
