The Roland Shack Endowed Chair

in Optical Sciences

 

Photo:  Professor Emeritus Roland ShackForty-five years ago Emeritus Professor Roland Shack joined Aden Meinel as a founding member of the Optical Sciences Center faculty.  Today history confirms his 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, it can be said that Roland was instrumental in helping define the reputation of achievement we all currently enjoy at the College of Optical Sciences.

 

We need your help today to fully fund an endowed chair in Roland's name.  If we are successful, this will be the first endowed chair for Optical Sciences recognized by the university.  Our goal is to raise one million dollars to honor one of our pioneers while also supporting excellence in teaching.
