Generous Endowment Supports Entomology Grad Students

Victoria Salerno MS’24, PhD’x28

The John M. and Nancy J. Falter Graduate Student Endowment Fund will provide annual support to entomology graduate students, helping them attend conferences, complete specialized training, and pursue research projects critical to their academic and professional development. Administered through the Entomology Graduate Student Association, the fund will strengthen future generations of Badger scientists and scholars. The endowment was established through a planned gift from UW alumni John ’52, MS’59, PhD’64 and Nancy ’56 Falter, whose generosity will create lasting opportunities for graduate students studying the scientific connections between insects, humans, the environment, and other organisms.
