CAREER SERVICES OFFICE, GROUND LEVEL

John R. and Eunice J. Campbell * Vv The Career Services Office was made possible through a generous gift from John R. and Eunice J. Campbell. Dr. Campbell served the University of Illinois College of Agriculture as associate dean for resident instruction from 1977 to 1983 and as dean of the college from 2983 to 1988, at which time he was selected to become president of Oklahoma State University. Dr. Campbell's professional achievements stand as a tribute to his inner drive and commitment to excellence as a teacher, scholar, administrator, and scientist. The campaign for the Library, Information and Alumni Center began during his tenure as dean, and he helped secure the first gifts that assured its ultimate success. Among Dr. Campbell': most noteworthy achievements was his establishment of the Jonathan Baldwin Turner Agricultural Scholarship Program for undergraduate students. This building stands as a tribute to his vision for a capstone facility to serve the people of Illinois and this nation.
