.Judith Bollinger \u201977, a Kalamazoo College trustee, and her husband, William, are creating the Judith and William Bollinger Endowed Professorship in Computer Science with a generous gift to K.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The computer science program at K has experienced a greater than tenfold increase in the number of majors in the past 10 years. The Judith and William Bollinger Endowed Professorship in Computer Science will allow the department to expand its reach to majors and nonmajors alike, improving access and equity in this growing area of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn computer science, we put a really high priority on issues of access and equity, and we have for a long time,\u201d Computer Science Chair Alyce Brady said. \u201cThat means one of the aspects that we\u2019re really interested in\u2014thanks to this endowment\u2014is expanding our reach to address students beyond just the computer science majors. With an additional faculty member, we would hope to provide for more students and continue our focus on developing a curriculum that allows everyone to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are deeply honored and grateful to the Bollingers for this wonderful gift,\u201d Kalamazoo College President Jorge G. Gonzalez said. \u201cThis endowment will strengthen our Computer Science Department and invest in its faculty while empowering students to attain more of the skills that employers demand. It will benefit students and their achievements beyond their years at K.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
