A new challenge for 2014

E. Petrucci Library!
"Pam and I invite all others to contribute to this $40,000 match. We encourage those that can to help us exceed our expectations by the end of the year."

Why your support matters
Our viticulture and enology alumni association has a history of providing support to the viticulture and enology program at Fresno State. Its primary mission is to raise funds for the V. E. Petrucci Library, named for the founder of those programs.
"There is no other entity that touches all aspects of who we are. From the enrichment in education to providing a space for student interactions, the Petrucci Library provides our students with the skills to thrive in the 21st century."
-- Jim Kennedy, department chair
