Donate to the Joe Vargas Endowed Chair in Turfgrass Pathology
By helping to create the Joe Vargas Endowed Chair in Turfgrass Pathology at Michigan State University, you are investing in the industry, our students, faculty, and research. Funds from the Vargas Chair endowment will allow us to do research in the area of greatest promise rather than being constrained by a specific grant opportunity. At the same time, the research they conduct with resources from the endowment, along with the benefits of being a part of a large research institution, will provide the catalyst for additional grant and research support. The Vargas Chair will conduct innovative research that will forever link the MSU brand with a meaningful and positive impact on the industry.
