The Roland Shack Endowed Chair

 

Photo:  Professor Emeritus Roland ShackRoland Shack joined Aden B. Meinel over 45 years ago as a founding member of the OSC faculty. He retired from full-time teaching in 2002 and currently serves as professor emeritus of optical sciences.

 

History confirms Shack's distinguished record of service to academia as well as his appreciation of challenging research. With a quiet sense of duty and a commitment to excellence in optical sciences, Roland was instrumental in defining the reputation of achievement we currently enjoy.

 

We need your help today to fully fund a chair in Roland Shack's name. If we are successful, this will be OSC's first endowed chair to be recognized by the university. We aim to raise $1,000,000 to honor one of our pioneers and to support excellence in teaching.
