Plum Creek gives
UM $50,000 gift
Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. has presented a $50,000 check to UM Foundation's Excellence
Fund in honor of UM President George M. Dennison's five years of service on the company's
board of directors. Dennison, who was appointed to the Plum Creek board in 1994,
resigned from it last month. Plum Creek Executive Vice President Charlie Grenier of
Columbia Falls presented a check to Dennison and Fred Lee, UM Foundation president and
CEO, during a ceremony last month.
Grenier said the company appreciates Dennison's contribution to its success during his
term on the board and wished to acknowledge that with a gift to the University.
Plum Creek has a history of involvement with the University. The company's major
contribution has been the establishment of the Plum Creek Distinguished Lecture Series,
which attracts highly regarded lecturers to UM to speak on topics relevant to commercial
forestry. The fund also supports the Plum Creek Fellow, a doctoral student whose work
includes coordinating the lecture series.
