UT Arlington receives $7.5 million contribution, largest in school history
Friday, March 1, 2013
The University of Texas at Arlington announced the biggest gift in its history Thursday, a $7.5 million donation from a global manufacturer of scientific instruments, The Dallas Morning News reported. The philanthropic gift from Japanese-based Shimadzu Scientific Instruments will help fund the Institute for Research Technologies, where scientists and students will use the devices to conduct research and make environmental and pharmaceutical advances. “This relationship has created the opportunity for many future collaborations between UT Arlington and global companies,” said James Spaniolo, the university’s outgoing president. “Now UT Arlington can provide the equipment and research teams required to help industry partners answer their most pressing problems.”
