About the Fund
The Crenshaw Research Fund was established by the friends and family of former Dean Mary Crenshaw, who served as dean from 1966 to 1984.
The intent of these funds is to enhance research growth in the College. To date, this fund has awarded more than $75,000 to support research efforts like purchasing new equipment or software, providing training to a faculty member, or collecting data for a research project.
