In spring of 1997, Mr. Lee L. Morgan, Retired Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar, Inc., and his wife, Mary Morgan, announced their gift of $1.5 million to endow the Food and Agribusiness Management Program and the ACES Information and Alumni Center.
FAM
Director Mike Mazzocco commented that "Mr. Morgan's generosity strengthens
FAM's goal to remain a premier program in educating decision makers. It allows
the FAM program to be more responsive and creative within the rapidly changing
field of food and agribusiness management. The Morgan gift will provide resources
for the program to remain competitive and current while creating and disseminating
knowledge and information in a dynamic environment."
