This fund was established in 2001 with a historic $1 million dollar contribution from Robert W. Gore and his wife Sarah. Gore is best known for his discovery of Gore-Tex and is one of the department?s most celebrated PhD graduates. Gore graduated in 1961 with an MS under the advisement of L. E. Scriven and in 1963 with a PhD under the advisement of Bill Ranz. This fund provides incoming graduate student fellowships and serves as the general fund for donations for graduate student support. Since inception the fund has grown exponentially and is the main departmental recruiting mechanism for attaining the world?s best graduate students. Alumni wishing to support graduate students are encouraged and invited to contribute to this fund.
