CALS Annual Fund
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences relies greatly upon the generosity of alumni and friends, and gifts of all sizes are important to providing critical budget and program support. Dean Henry has set a bold new goal for the 2008-2009 CALS Annual Fund—our rst year for a goal of $1 million! Join us in showing your support for faculty, students, and programs.
