Entomology
Supporting UCR Entomology
UCR's Entomology Department thrives, in part, because of generous gifts made by its many supportive alumni and friends. These gifts supplement state and federal funds to enhance the training of graduate and undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers, and they are also used to invite preeminent speakers to the Department's seminar series.
Currently Targeted Funds in Need of Support
- Entomology Fund for Excellence This fund allows the department to fund outstanding speakers for its seminar series.
- Harry Scott Smith Scholarship Fund This scholarship, established in 1957, supports students studying the field of biological control.
- Harry Shorey Scholarship Fund This scholarship, established in 1998 in honor of Harry Shorey, supports graduate students who are pursuing research on pheromones in entomology.
Note: These are all endowed funds, meaning that donations are invested by the UCR Foundation, allowing the body or corpus of the fund to grow while the department uses only the interest generated by the corpus. This is an excellent way to donate if your intent is to provide a long-term benefit. If, however, you wish to donate so the department can use your entire gift immediately, or if you wish to discuss your unique giving preferences, contact the department Chair, Ring Cardé, by email at ring.carde@ucr.edu or by phone at (951) 827-5831.
