UCOP adds $500,000 to the Goss gift to create a presidential chair
Alumni and longtime university supporters Lois and Darryl Goss are creating a presidential chair in African American and African Studies at the University of California, Davis, to provide sustained funding for teaching, research and outreach about the history and culture of communities of African descent around the world.
“We specifically created this presidential chair due to the current climate around social justice we want to bring diversity, equity and inclusion to the forefront of everyone’s mind,” Darryl Goss said. “We need to provide appropriate support toward educational opportunities to generate more interaction and understanding of underrepresented people’s histories.”
