How to Give to the PRC
W. Parker Frisbie Fund for Excellence
Professor W. Parker Frisbie retired in 2008 after 36 years in the Department of Sociology and the Population Research Center. Because his extraordinary scholarship and mentoring contributed so much to our community, we have honored Parker’s career by creating a $25,000 endowment called the W. Parker Frisbie Fund for Excellence. Housed within the PRC, the fund is dedicated to supporting outstanding PRC faculty and graduate student research. Although the initial financial goal is modest, our long-range plan is to raise enough funds to transform the excellence fund into a PRC endowed professorship.
