In 2010, Professor Emeritus, Dr. Tom Stoebe and his wife Janet, established the Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Stoebe Endowed Fellowship. Their goal and the purpose of this generous fellowship are to help the department recruit and retain top students and provide those students with meaningful financial support.
Professor Emeritus, Dr. Tom Stoebe and past Stoebe Fellow, Matthew Lim, a Ph.D. candidate whose research involves synthesis and characterization of graphene aerogels and their electrochemical properties for application as electrodes for supercapacitors.
Dr. Stoebe has been a true champion for students, investing generously in the fellowship himself and setting out to raise a total of $200,000 for the fund. Endowed funds like this provide support for students in perpetuity. Each year, graduate students will benefit from this generous fellowship.
Since 2010, the fellowship has received investments totaling over $180,000. Contributions have been made by the Stoebe family, emeritus faculty, alumni and other friends of the department. Several Stoebe Fellowship recipients have already been awarded funding and reaped tremendous benefit for their graduate schooling.
