Arboretum Fund with a contribution of $50,000, the largest single gift ever
received to support the arboretum. "The arboretum was always my dad's
favorite place on campus. It's a beautiful and serene place they both loved. I
look forward to providing funds for Phase II of the master plan to be developed
and also honor my mom and dad in such a meaningful way," Lindsey said.
