The Department of Biological Sciences pays tribute
to alumnus Dick Rauh Ph.D. '01.
| |
"Rauh began his research later in life and brought a maturity and worldview that is not typical. His talent in art found a natural home in the laboratory of the late Professor Dominick Basile, where he was able to capture subtle morphological differences in plants. Rauh's beautiful illustrations continue to be treasured at Lehman."
