Grand Island Research Fund
The Mather-Klauer Lodge at Grand Island serves as the home base for a joint venture between ISU and the U.S. Department of Forestry on Grand Island. The Grand Island Research Fund supports research efforts of Illinois State University emeriti faculty James Skibo who serves as the Director of the Grand Island Archaeological Project, and is responsible for oversight of the Illinois State University project. Funds may be used to support research, including renovations to the Lodge that aid ISU's research efforts.
