The University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences has raised more than $3.2 million from stakeholders to create an endowment named after U of I nematologist Saad Hafez, who retired at the end of October. According to the university, the endowment will help the university attract a true global leader in nematology to replace Hafez. Annual distributions from the endowment will be used at the discretion of the new faculty member for graduate student and research support.
