 Son of longtime faculty member leaves $6 million to university
The largest gift ever made to the Foundation can be traced back to the beginnings of the university itself. The bequest of Lt. Col. George L. Simpson Jr., recognizes his father, one of the original 20 faculty members at UW-Eau Claire and his mother, who was a member of the university's first graduating class in 1917. In the coming months, gifts from Simpson's estate will be received and directed to athletics and the department of geography and anthropology. George Simpson Sr. taught geography at UW-Eau Claire for 35 years and was a basketball and football coach. Read more.
