Peter Suhge d’Aubermont ’73 provides funding to aid in construction of new building
Peter Suhge d’Aubermont ’73 has committed $1 million to Lafayette to support the life sciences initiative that is part of the College’s new strategic plan. D’Aubermont would specifically like the funds to go toward the building of a life sciences center, which is currently proposed as a part of the initiative.
D’Aubermont currently works as a dermatologist at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta, Ga., and specializes in skin cancer. He is also a clinical associate professor of dermatology for Emory University’s School of Medicine in Atlanta. D’Aubermont came to Lafayette as a non-traditional student originally from Argentina. He graduated in 1973 with a degree in biology and went on to the University of Pennsylvania were he received his M.D.
Kim Spang, associate director of development, notes that d’Aubermont feels it is important to support the life sciences initiative because biology and other life sciences will equip students to address many issues facing our global community.
D’Aubermont has been supportive of the College over a number of years as witnessed by the d’Aubermont Study Room, located on the second floor of Skillman Library, overlooking Kunkel Hall and Hugel Science Center. D’Aubmeront also donated a laboratory and office suite in Kunkel Hall. A prominent place within the new building will be named for d’Aubermont.
