HRI executive director to retire in March
After directing the HRI during its first two years,
Dr. Robert Furgason will be stepping down from his position as HRI's
 executive director on March 31. He has been involved with the HRI since its
inception. To honor the institute's director,
Ed Harte recently named a new HRI
endowment the "Furgason Fellowships," which will provide funding
for bringing in researchers from Mexico and Cuba.
"We wanted to name it for Dr. Furgason because of his superb
direction of the institute during the first years of its life,"
Harte said. Harte previously donated a $46 million endowment to
fund the institute that bears his name and opened in 2005.
