The Dean’s Suite in the College of Business and Public Administration was named recently for Dick B. Thurmond ’76, thanks to his $150,000 gift to the capital campaign. Thurmond’s generous contribution will support the college’s Faculty Development Fund for summer research, faculty travel and training. The president of William E. Wood and Associates, Thurmond earned his ODU degree in marketing. He is pictured with Nancy Bagranoff, dean of the College of Business and Public Administration.
