TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) -- Graduate students in Indiana State University’s Department of Earth and Environmental Systems will have new opportunities to pursue research thanks to the generosity of alumnus Dr. L. Michael Trapasso.
His newly established endowment and $30,000 gift will have a profound impact on graduate student experiences, much like the meteorological impacts on the environment that he has devoted his life to studying.
The Dr. L. Michael Trapasso Research Grant will enable graduate students in the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems to pursue research opportunities without financial difficulty.
“Dr. Trapasso's donation will create many opportunities for our graduate students in the Earth and Environmental Systems Department,” assistant professor Alex Badillo said. “Support, especially at the graduate level, is extremely important for future success as a scholar and as a professional. Dr. Trapasso's gift will most certainly have quite an impact on our graduate students' research and future careers.”
