First Endowed Professorship at Rutgers-Camden Launched with Gift from Alumnus and Wife in Honor of Beloved Professor A husband and wife who met while students at Rutgers-Camden have contributed a multimillion-dollar gift to create the campus’ first endowed professorship, which honors the memory of a respected faculty member and enhances Rutgers’ national reputation as a leader in the field of computational biology. Joseph S. and Loretta L. Lopez met at Rutgers-Camden in a geology class as undergraduate students –- she studying psychology, he pursuing a degree in mathematics. That experience launched a lifelong journey that would lead to marriage, three children, four grandchildren, and an innovative, successful career in computer science and engineering. In recognition of Rutgers’ transformative role in their lives, the Lopezes have created the Joseph and Loretta Lopez Endowed Professorship in Mathematics in Honor of Professor Leonard Bidwell as an opportunity for Rutgers-Camden to touch other lives in a profound manner. This endowed professorship is the first on the Rutgers-Camden campus. It will allow Rutgers-Camden to attract a top mathematician to support the campus’ growing program in computational biology. Rutgers-Camden already is a leader in this expanding discipline, which applies computational modeling to the biosciences. Click here to read more. |
