The Suter Science Seminar series is made possible by the Daniel B. Suter Endowment in biology. The endowment was named in honor of long-time EMU biology professor, Daniel B. Suter (1920-2006). The endowment was established in 1986 through the generous donations of alumni and friends and currently consists of over $1 million of invested funds. The long term goal is to double the Suter Endowment in order to more adequately support our distinguished faculty and to increase scholarship aid to deserving students.
