The past few years have seen wonderful KUCIMAT financial support, not only in annual pledges, but also in endowed funds. Mike Wildgen, Lee and Jerry Smith, the Daicoff family, Dick Chesney, and the Nalbandian family have each pledged $30,000 to support the department in perpetuity. Art Davis has taken advantaged of planned giving and included the department in a bequest. Also, we are working to establish the Joe Harkins/Marvin Harder fund and the Paul Reaume fund. Please let us know if you would like to lend your support to any of these efforts or your own special effort.
Our last successful pledge drive has come to a close, and we will begin our next three year cycle this fall. If you would like to be a pledge leaders—at least $500 annually for the next three years--please contact Ray Hummert (rhummert@ku.edu) or John Nalbandian (nalband@ku.edu).
