The Kim B. and Stephen E. Bepler Chairs in Physics
These new chairs were created thanks to a $10.5 million gift from the estate of the late Stephen E. Bepler, FCRH ’64, and his widow, Kim Bepler, an honorary trustee fellow. Of this gift, $2.5 million will be added to a fund for a new science building being planned for the Rose Hill campus, a project to which the Beplers have already given $7.8 million.
