| The Thayer SSC 105 endowment
provides financial support to students who demonstrate academic
promise, but have financial constraints that might prevent
them from registering for the course. The Thayer endowment
was made possible by generous contributions from Jim Thayer,
his colleagues at CH2M HILL, alumni of the SSC 105 class,
and friends of Jim Thayer. Jim was a member of the SSC 105
class of 1970, who established the fund prior to his death
from cancer in 2001. He established this fund because of his
love for his soil science profession and because he felt the
summer class was the best class he ever took. Jim was a Senior
Soil Scientist, Group Leader, and Project Manager in CH2M
HILL’s Water Business Group. He brought a straightforward,
passionate commitment to professional, community, and family
roles throughout his life.
Apply to the course instructor (R.J. Southard or M.J. Singer

needs, and a copy of the most recent academic transcript.
Applications must be made by June 1 each year.
