The following are a few of the development highlights of the past year:
The Campus Campaign -This annual solicitation of faculty and staff garnered the College of Biological Sciences more than $25,000 during the six-month campaign period. Also, during this time, Biological Sciences' students raised nearly $1,800 for the annual Class Gift.
"Affirm Thy Friendship"- The University's major fund-raising campaign ended in September, exceeding the $1 billion goal by nearly $3 million. The College of Biological Sciences also surpassed its goal of $5 million.
Winter College -This annual event is January 26, & 27, 2001 at the Hilton Naples & Towers. The $175.00 fee covers the cost of food and supplies. This year, Ohio State speakers will discuss Planned Giving, Heart Surgery, the Civil War, Veterinary Medicine, the Library, and Agriculture. For more information, please contact me at 614-292-4008.
Book Signing -Emeritus Professor Ronald L. Stuckey hosted a book-signing November 6, 2000, in the Herbarium at the Museum of Biological Diversity to celebrate his most recent publication, Emanuel D. Rudolph's Studies in the History of North American Botany. Sponsors of the event included the College of Biological Sciences Development Office and Friends of the OSU Libraries.
Emeritus Gathering-Biological Sciences' emeritus faculty met June 1, 2000. Attending were: Mary Ellen Clay, Entomology; Daniel J. Crawford, EEOB; Michael L. Evans, Plant Biology; Gary L. Floyd, Plant Biology; Abbot S. Gaunt, EEOB; Theodore Myers, EEOB; Ron Stuckey, Plant Biology; and Barry Valentine, EEOB.
