This summer marked two milestones for Life Trustee David Rockefeller: His 100^th birthday and his 75^th year on the Board of Trustees. In celebration, the Board’s June 3 meeting included a tribute to Mr. Rockefeller in honor of his extraordinary leadership and support that have been crucial to establishing and maintaining the university’s status as a world-class bioscience research institute. Most recently, his generous gift of $75 million, announced earlier this year, will help fund construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation–David Rockefeller River Campus, a two-acre extension that will allow the university to add state-of-the-art laboratories and other facilities.
