ARLINGTON -- Scientific discovery, innovation and research at the University of Texas at Arlington received a $7.5 million boost Thursday with a record gift from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments.
"This is the largest single cash commitment in the history of UT Arlington," President James Spaniolo said during a celebration to highlight the gift. Faculty, students and representatives from Shimadzu attended.
Shimadzu, a world leader in technology, has now given UTA a total of about $10.5 million; the $7.5 million cash commitment and a previous $3 million in-kind equipment donation.
"We are investing in both the future of UT Arlington and in our future," said Dave Jorissen, manager out of the Shimadzu regional office in Houston. "It's a classic win-win for us."
