Interment services were held today in Hayward for Mrs. Dee Jordan who died Nov. 17 in San Francisco. President Joseph I. Castro ordered Fresno State’s national and state flags to be posted at half-staff today in memory of Mrs. Jordan, whose family donated $29.5 million to Fresno State’s Ag One Foundation in 2009. The gift remains the largest single cash gift ever received by the California State University system. The CSU Board of Trustees named Fresno State’s Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology in honor of the family. The cornerstone of the Jordan family’s vision for the college, the Jordan Agricultural Research Center, is now under construction on campus at Barstow and Woodrow avenues. Original press release.
