HES Foundation

The Human Environmental Sciences Foundation was established in 1946 under the leadership of Dean Margaret Edwards and the guidance of Business Manager, John Lockhart. Established to "aid and support all types of teaching and research," the foundation has built a strong endowment which continues to provide funding for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, and program enhancements.

The HES Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors which meets quarterly. Made up of alumni and friends from the different fields representative of our five departments, the board supports the foundation with its time and resources and provides guidance in the stewardship of donations.
