Alumni and friends are invited to demonstrate their support for freshwater research, education, and outreach at Michigan Tech. Donors to the GLRC may qualify for a personalized acrylic fish that is creatively displayed on a donor wall located in the first floor lobby dependent upon giving level.
The fish measure 10 ($500+ donation), 12 ($1,000+ donation), and 14 ($2,000+ donation) inches in length and will be attached to the display using brushed silver standoffs at varying depths. The wall display is constructed of cabinet-grade birch veneer with a vinyl graphic overlay, adding a subtle wave pattern. The fish will be arranged in groups or “schools."
