A $1 million alumni donation to the UW-Madison School of Human Ecology will advance research on children of preschool age and offer much-needed infant care on campus.
Elliot Lehman and his wife, Frances, made the donation. Lehman was a leader in providing a family-friendly environment at his former company, Fel-Pro, which made automotive gaskets.
The money will be used for adding a teaching and research preschool laboratory to the School of Human Ecology, housed on Linden Drive in a historic building that is being renovated and enlarged.
