A new fund has been established through the generosity of the late Dr. Robert “Bob” E. (emeritus professor) and Carol S. Roth to support undergraduate students enrolled in the School of Environment and Natural Resources. The Dr. Robert E. and Carol S. Roth Environmental Education Endowed Fund supports experiential learning opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students enrolled in the School. Support shall include, but not be limited to, internships, study abroad expenses, conferences, seminars, Stone Lab engagement, field course work, research materials and travel, and more.
"This generous gift from the Roth family, memorializing Dr. Robert Roth will provide our students with transformative hands-on learning experiences, ensuring they are prepared to tackle the environmental and natural resource challenges of tomorrow," said Tim Haab, professor and director of the School of Environment and Natural Resources.
Dr. Roth was a professor of Environmental Education in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University, where he was Associate Director from 1994 until retirement in 2001 when “Emeritus” faculty status was granted. He and Carol, married for more than 64 years, enjoyed a life of travel, singing, and family camping and fishing trips. Dr. Roth played in the OSU TBDBITL Alumni Marching Band since 1971.
