A memorial service for University of California, Davis, Chancellor Emeritus James H. Meyer will be held on Friday, Dec. 6, from 10:30 a.m. to noon in Jackson Hall of the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts. A reception will follow in the hall's Grand Tier Lobby.
Meyer, who guided 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis from 1969 to 1987 during the campus's greatest period of unrest, change and growth, died Oct. 12 after a lengthy illness. A calming presence in moments of crisis and a patient and deliberate consensus-builder, he was also recognized as a leader in the adaptation of management theory and techniques to higher education.
His family asks that those wishing to make memorial contributions consider a donation to benefit students in the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Department of Animal Science or to augment the performing arts center's endowment. Checks for the animal science program should be made out to "51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Regents" in memory of James H. Meyer and directed to the Animal Science Memorial Fund, c/o the Department of Animal Science, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis, One Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616. Checks for the arts endowment should be made out to "51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Foundation" in memory of James H. Meyer and sent to the Development Office, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis, One Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616.
