09/02-- Frank Colvin, a Purdue University alumnus and General Motors vice president for fuel cell activities, announces an in-kind software gift to Purdue today (Thursday, 9/26) during a news conference at the West Lafayette campus. The software, with a commercial value of $116.1 million, represents the largest corporate gift ever made to the university. The gift is part of a program called PACE (Partners for the Advancement of Computer-Aided design, engineering and manufacturing Education), which is an alliance among GM, EDS
and Sun Microsystems to put their proprietary software into university engineering and technology curricula. (University News Service photo by David Umberger)
