College of Science, Cal Poly Pomona
This
scholarship was established to honor a respected former colleague, Dr.
Harold Lint. Dr. Lint joined the faculty in 1947. During the 33 years
he served at Cal Poly Pomona, Dr. Lint taught a remarkable variety of
courses ranging from entomology and plant pathology, to math and English.
Dr. Lint's love of botany (especially rushes, Juncus) and his love for
his students made him one of the most effective instructors on campus.
