The 2015-2016 Fiscal Year in Review

From FPG Director Sam Odom's introduction: "As an organization, the highlight of this year was the celebration of our 50th anniversary. Our internal celebration with staff and investigators happened in the fall, with a centerpiece presentation of our history prepared by longtime FPG researchers Barbara Wasik and Donna Bryant. The spring brought a larger celebration that extended to the local, state, and national community. At our award dinner, co-founder Nancy Robinson's memories of our origins, the Provost's welcome, and rousing speeches from Howard Lee and Governor Hunt created a celebratory spirit for the evening.
