Penn State Lehigh Valley has established the Dr. Ann M. Williams Visiting Innovator Program Endowment fund in honor of Dr. Williams' 15 years of service to Penn State. Dr. Williams retired as chancellor of Penn State Lehigh Valley as of July 14.

In lieu of retirement gifts, she suggested creating the endowment to bring national and international leaders in innovation to the Lehigh Valley to work with Penn State Lehigh Valley students in the classroom and to visit corporations in the community. The program will be coordinated through the campus' Office of Corporate and Community Education.

Anyone interested in honoring Dr. Williams and supporting the endowment may make a gift by calling the Office of Development at 610-285-5159.
