Franks Geology Fund

Jesse Dee and Marjorie Franks Geology Fund

 

This fund will be used for general support of the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering including for field-camp scholarships.

A generous donation by Stephen and Kaye Franks, of McKinney, Texas, will enable students to further their studies and launch careers in the geosciences field.

Franks, who earned a master’s degree from the university in 1971, has spent more than 40 years in the petroleum industry, including work at Atlantic Richfield’s Exploration and Production Technology Co. in Plano, Texas, and with Saudi Aramco’s Advanced Research Center in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
