in Honor of Janet and W. Keith Kellogg II

W. Keith Kellogg II and Janet ("Jean") Kellogg

In honor of their extraordinary contributions to science and education, The Scripps Research Institute has named its graduate college "The Kellogg School of Science and Technology" for philanthropists Janet R. ("Jean") Kellogg and W. Keith Kellogg II.

For many years, the Kelloggs have been among the country's most devoted philanthropists, giving generously through their own estate and through a foundation established in memory of Mr. Kellogg's parents, Helen and John Kellogg, the son of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg. Their support of the Kellogg School of Science and Technology at TSRI brings together two objectives in the Kelloggs' giving--support for science and support for education.

The Kelloggs have been long-standing patrons of education, giving generously to several institutions of higher education in California and in the Chicago area, where they lived for many years. Most notably, the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University was named in their honor.

The Kelloggs' commitment to science is evident in their having established an endowed chair in chemistry and having made a significant contribution toward the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Chemical Sciences at TSRI. They also funded the Continuing Care Unit at Scripps Memorial Hospital-Encinitas and the Kellogg Cancer Center in Evanston, Illinois.

In special recognition, TSRI conferred honorary doctorates of science on the Kelloggs at its commencement ceremony on May 17, 2002.
