An anonymous donor’s $1 million gift to Fresno State will fund two areas of student research in genetics and mo- lecular biology as well as The President’s Circle of Excel- lence fund.
The gift was announced earlier this fall at a ceremony at the university’s Science II
Building. At the event, Presi- dent Joseph Castro also intro- duced Christopher Meyer, the new dean of the College of Sci- ence and Mathematics. Meyer started July 20.
Castro said the anonymous gift will be divided this way:
• An amount of $500,000 will fund undergraduate, team-based research in biol- ogy or chemistry that features
experiences for students in genetics and molecular biol- ogy.
