‘Apostle for horticulture’ Bryce Lane creates student travel endowment

From NCSU CALS:

During his 32-year career in N.C. State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Bryce Lane, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor of Horticultural Science, taught more than 20,000 students. He led many of them on national field trips and competitions, as well as on international excursions, where he introduced students to world horticulture practices. Creating a fund to support travel opportunities for horticulture students seemed a natural choice for Lane and his wife, Susanna, for his parting gift to the Department of Horticultural Science when he retired in late 2013.

On March 18 the Lanes made the gift official as they signed an agreement and presented a check to create the Bryce H. and Susanna M. Lane Horticultural Science Student Travel Endowment. “This endowment will provide an opportunity for the department to decide where the need is to enable students to travel,” Lane said at the signing ceremony and reception, held at the York Auditorium, JC Raulston Arboretum.
