Donors to the Pax el-Khouri Fund

Thank you to the gracious and generous donors who have contributed.  The fund at MIT will provide support for students and faculty in the Department of Physics doing work in the area of quantum physics with preference support of Undergraduate Research Opportunities Projects.  We reached our goal of $100,000 commitments to establish a permanent endowed fund so that Pax's memory will live on forever.
