The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point will benefit from two donations that will create an endowed chair in the College of Natural Resources. That creates a new faculty position in waterfowl and wetlands conservation, with an emphasis on teaching and research.

UWSP Dean of the College of Natural Resources Christine Thomas says they have been given $2 million dollars. The funds will go to the UWSP Foundation from James C. Kennedy of Atlanta, Georgia and David F. Grohne of Wilmington, Illinois. Kennedy and Grohne are devoted conservationists and active with Ducks Unlimited, Inc., the world’s largest private, nonprofit, waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization.
