David J. Rausch Chemistry Endowment
This endowment is established by alumni, colleagues, family and
friends of Dr. David Rausch, Professor Emeritus, in recognition
of 40 years (1966-2006) of outstanding teaching, research, advising
and mentoring undergraduate students at St. Procopius College
/ Illinois Benedictine College / Benedictine University.
The endowment fund is a resource for the Chemistry Department
to draw on for significant program needs that are not covered
in the department's regular budget. The intention is that this
will be a fund that will exist in perpetuity and be used to fund:
Faculty/Undergraduate Student Research Projects (which may include
student research stipends).
The purchase of major chemical instruments (requirements of matching
grants is given a priority.)
The goal is to fund the endowment at $500,000 within five years.
Funding Approach:
Endowment Goal: $500,000.
Where are we now?
Solicitation Recognition:
A plaque was designed and purchased by the Rausch Family to honor
Dr. Rausch, explain the endowment and recognize the contributors
