Gift to Spark Powerful New Projects
Gift to Spark Powerful New Projects
April 25, 2016
Caltech leaders announced today two new funds that will provide flexible resources to support top priorities and launch bold academic endeavors.
These endowments—The Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for New Initiatives and the Ronald and Maxine Linde Leadership Chair in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS)—were created with money allocated from one of the largest single gifts ever pledged to Caltech, made public last year: the $50 million commitment by Ronald (MS '62, PhD '64) and Maxine Linde.
