RICHARD
M. AND JANE
H. HUTSON ENDOWMENT FOR EXCELLENCE
IN
ARCHAEOLOGY Established: May 6, 2003 The purpose of this
endowment is to support the Archaeology Program at Murray State
University by
using the interest earnings from this fund to manage and protect the
Richard M.
Hutson, M.D. Archaeological Collection and to support the
Archaeological
Program, including but not limited to expenses associated with
laboratory,
student research, training and curation. Awards
from this fund shall be determined by the Director
of the
Archaeological Program in conjunction with the Chair of the Department
of
Geosciences.
A program plan is presently being
developed to
enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduate placement of
archaeology
students using these resources (as funds become available). This
plan should help matriculate bright
Kentucky undergraduates interested in careers in archaeology and
hopefully
retain this intellectual capital to help “grow” Kentucky into the
future.
This position was vacant
during 2008-09. The endowed threshold
has not been attained. The endowed
chair will be filled when earnings from the endowment reach a level
sufficient
to attract an appropriate candidate. |
