New Endowed Funds Announced

Five new endowments have been announced for the AAPG Foundation’s Digital Product University Alumni Fund.

The new gifts, which endow access to students for the entire AAPG digital library, are:

• From Marta Weeks, a subscription for the University of Wisconsin in memory of her late father-inlaw, Lewis G. Weeks.
• From Paul Strunk, a subscription for Kansas State University.
• From Bruce Falkenstein, subscriptions for the University of Calgary and Oregon State University.
• From Dan Smith, subscriptions for the University of Texas at Austin.

The Foundation’s Digital Products University Alumni Fund allows alumni to provide, with a one-time gift or bequest of $12,500, access for current students to AAPG’s digital library – over 450,000 pages of information.

In other Foundation news, the Grants-in-Aid Program recently received funding for two new Named Grants:

• Bill Barrett has provided funding for the Barrett Family Named Grant, which will provide $500 annually to a geoscience graduate student at Kansas State University.
• Herbert and Shirley Davis have provided funding for an annual $500 grant in their names for a geoscience graduate student at Oklahoma State University.
