WSU grad donates $3 million for new lab

Wright State University will open a new engineering lab in 2016 funded with a $3 million donation from one of its graduates.

Ron Bullock, a 1970 graduate, chairs Bison Gear & Engineering Corporation in St. Charles, Ill. He pledged the gift Thursday morning at the school’s Joshi Research Center.

The gift will provide for a new laboratory named for Bullock’s company. The lab, designed to promote creative thinking and problem solving in various engineering disciplines, is scheduled to open in fall 2016.
