New Ohio State Food Science Building Concrete Example Of Successful Campaign COLUMBUS, Ohio When the Parker Food Science and Technology Building opens in January, it will be an obvious manifestation of the success of the five-year “Share the Vision” development campaign for Ohio State College of Food, Agricul tural, and Environmental Sci ences. The $l7 million, 40,000- square-foot facility serving students, faculty, staff and the food industry, unifies the vari ous food science programs at Ohio State University. The building connects to Howlett Hall home of the Ohio Food Industries Pilot Plant, which processes fruit and vegetables and is adjacent to the Animal Sciences building, which houses a meat processing plant. The new building will feature a new dairy foods pilot plant, J-SXUt Silo Inlander Teehnolo”> Takes a (liant Leap forward! • CABLE ALLEY • WASTE HANDLING EQUIPMENT • FEED HANDLES SCRAPER DUMPS - TANKS - TILLAGE APPLICATOR BELTS - FEEDERS - CONVEYORS See 77?ese Dealers For Details A/oi/\x...

The new building was made possible by the “Share the Vision” campaign. When the campaign began in 1995, the original goal was to raise $65.4 million. As the years passed and pledges kept coming in, the col lege increased its goal to $75 million. When the campaign of ficially ended this summer, a total of $78.2 million had been raised, said Lynda Heyl, director of development for the college.

More than 80,000 in dividual gifts were made to the college over the campaign period. Although the Parker Building is a concrete example of fund raising efforts, endowments were also a major focus of the campaign. In the last five years, Heyl said, 132 endowments were established, including three en dowed chairs, 90 new scholar ships or fellowships, and 39 research or program funds. During the campaign period, the college endowment market value increased by more than $76 million, to $117,546,705, she said. 9" & 11" Single Chain Conveyors MOVE TONS OF FEED FAST 8c EFFICIENTLY Now get the best of Jamesway®, Van Dale® and Starline® in J-STAR'S high capacity single chain feed conveyors.

Chambersburg, PA 17201 717-264-9588 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 2, 2000-05 Since the campaign ended, more major gifts have come the college’s way. One was the gift of $3 million by university alum nus Thomas L. Parker (8.5., business administration, 1943), which is the largest gift the col lege has ever received. The gift will support the new building, named in honor of the Parker family, and the Thomas L. Parker Excellence in Dairy Foods Program, which will pro vide continuous support for re search, teaching and outreach in the dairy food arena. Annual income from this endowed fund will support the Thomas L. Parker Distinguished Visitor or the Thomas L. Parker Lecturer; scholarships and fellowships for students enrolled in dairy foods programs; support for student organizations, including the Dairy Foods Judging Team; spe cial programs in the building’s dairy food store, including stu dent sensory testing; and annual STAR SILOS Myerstown, PA 17067 717-866-5708 GLADHILL TRACTOR MART Frederick, MD 21701 301-663-6060 funding for research in dairy and food engineering, as identi fied by students, faculty, staff and the dairy industry. The effort will complement the exist ing J.T. “Stubby” Parker Chair in Dairy Foods, which Parker previously established in memory of his father. The Parker connection to dairy foods stems back genera tions, Heyl said. It was I.C. Parker, Thomas L. Parker’s uncle and “Stubby’s” twin brother, who invented the Drumstick in the late 19205. To gether, the brothers formed the Drumstick Co. to produce and market the ice cream novelty. The building’s grand opening celebration will be held in May 2001. Another major gift was an nounced in October when the Nationwide Foundation offered the university a five-year grant of more than S4.S million. Of that grant, $2.4 million supports three initiatives in the college: • Ohio 4-H Center, creation of centralized program space, $2 million. • Center for Education and Economic Development (CEED), $300,000. • Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program, $lOO,OOO. Both of these gifts are a part of Ohio State’s ongoing fund raising efforts following the suc cess of its five-year, $1.23 billion “Affirm Thy Friendship” Cam paign, which concluded on June 30, 2000. The college’s “Share the Vision” campaign was part of the university’s effort. Buy Factory Direct & Save!
