丹尼斯 and Debra Ujiiye

Reaping from the past to sow for the future

丹尼斯 ’70 and Debra (Murata) Ujiiye ’73 met at the University of 爱达荷州 in l969. They both came from farming families – 丹尼斯’s family farmed in Nampa, 爱达荷州, while Deb’s parents farmed near Ontario, 俄勒冈州, following time spent in a World War II internment camp – and their parents encouraged them to pursue college degrees. 今天, 丹尼斯 farms on the Murata family’s land, while Deb is a retired educator, after a career in special education. In 2014, they committed a portion of their estate to U of I to benefit the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the College of Education. “Individuals are most effective when empowered, and education is empowering,” 丹尼斯 said. “By providing others with educational opportunities that have served both of us so well, we hopefully will play a small part in the beginning of other great enterprises.”
