Blog: New Lund endowment will support next generation of water management leaders
Jay Lund, Vice Director of the Center for Watershed Sciences and Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering, and his wife Jean Lund have made a historic donation of $800,000 to the Center for Watershed Sciences. This large and generous gift will support graduate students to engage in interdisciplinary water research, pursue their own interests, and think creatively about how to tackle major water problems. Water management is a critical part of any society, and UC Davis is uniquely situated to address water challenges in California and across the globe. UC Davis is also an ideal setting for hands-on, collaborative learning, such that new generations of water professionals are trained across multiple disciplines and in novel ways.
