Realized Bequests
The Rackham Graduate School received bequests from the estates of the following donors in 2023. The foresight of these generous individuals is deeply appreciated, and, as demonstrated by the value of their giving, will truly help enhance Rackham’s educational excellence.
Jerome Delene
Jerome Delene began his Michigan journey in 1957, when he earned his B.S. in physics from the University of Michigan. He went on to receive his master’s in nuclear science from Rackham Graduate School in 1959. His time at Michigan was followed by a rich career as a nuclear physicist. Jerome’s bequest will support generations of Rackham graduate students.
Nina George
Nina George led the way for many women. She first earned her bachelor’s in 1952 from Wayne State University and received her master’s in education from the University of Michigan in 1954. Her support of graduate education is an enduring legacy.
Frederick Roos (in memoriam)
Frederick Roos earned his B.S.E. from the University of Michigan College of Engineering in 1963. He went on to earn both a master’s (1965) and Ph.D. (1968) in engineering from the University of Michigan before embarking on a career in aerodynamics. Later in life, Roos became a professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
Theodore Townsend
Rev. Theodore Townsend was a Michigan native born in Ann Arbor. After traveling around the country, Rev. Townsend returned to Ann Arbor and earned his Ph.D. in Old Testament in 1972. He went on to serve as a pastor across the world, including India and Russia. His generous bequest to Rackham will leave a lasting legacy.
