UoGuelph establishes new ecological pest management chair thanks to $3M donation

The University of Guelph has established the new E Alan and Jule A Cameron Chair in Ecological Pest Management thanks to a $3M gift from Alan and Jule Cameron. The chair will study ecologically-based pest management strategies that have a minimal environmental impact; teach undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental science; and interact with industry, farmers, and government agencies. The gift will support the new chair for an unlimited term. “On behalf of all of us at the University, I want to express my gratitude to the Camerons for their visionary gift that will grow our collective understanding of pest management best practices,” said UoGuelph President Dr Charlotte Yates.
