It is the latest in a series of improvements to Lambeau Field, including additional seating capacity, scoreboards and the new visitor plaza. LU receives $1.5 million gift from innovation professor Dwight Peterson, a 1955 Lawrence University graduate, has established a $1.5 million endowed professorship to foster innovation at the university. Peterson worked at 3M (the company that developed Scotch Tape and the Post-it Note) for 38 years, where he says innovation is ingrained in the culture. e gi is intended to support that same culture at his alma mater. "e long-term history of 3M is based on continuous development of new products," Peterson says. "e idea of looking at things from new and different perspectives, of doing collaborative interdisciplinary work, of having a culture where there is the possibility to fail — and it is acceptable — and then start over and rework it, that all fits very well with a Lawrence education." Peterson and his wife, Marjorie, are residents of North Oaks, Minn., and he was a member of the Lawrence Board of Trustees from 2005 to 2013. Adam Galambos, associate professor of economics, has been named the first Dwight and Marjorie Peterson Professor in Innovation. A number of student-created and directed ventures have grown out of Lawrence's Innovation & Entrepreneur program. is past 1919 Kitchen & Tap replaces Curly's Pub at Lambeau Field
