To honor Professor Tom Alber, the Alber Family and the faculty together have set a goal of raising $50,000 to permanently name a lecture series in his memory. We hope that you will join us in celebrating Tom and that you will consider making a gift to help establish a lecture series that will bear Tom's name in perpetuity.
