Dr. Eugene P. Odum
It is rare that an individual makes major contributions in each essential component of academic life - teaching, research and service. Eugene Pleasants Odum (September 17, 1913-August 10, 2002) accomplished just that.
The James E. Butler, Jr. Fellowships in Ecology
Columbus attorney James E. Butler, Jr. established the Butler Fellowships with a $1 million gift to the Institute of Ecology in 2006. The fellowships are for graduate students studying environmental issues including water quality and land use. A lifetime of experiences beginning with a love of fishing in Georgia's rivers instilled in James Butler a deep regard for the environment.
