Professor honored
Dozens of Pfeiffer University graduates recently honored Dr. Steve C. Dial during the fifth annual George Pfeiffer Symposium.
A professor emeritus of biology and distinguished Pfeiffer alumnus, Dial came to Pfeiffer in 1963 as a faculty member. He retired in 2003.
Dial’s son, Chris, a 1986 Pfeiffer graduate, is leading the fundraising effort to renovate and name the Harris Greenhouse to honor his father. Glass Garden Builders of Connecticut, the original builder of the university’s Lord and Burnham Greenhouse, has been retained to update and restore the structure.
Dial was a biology professor, past chair of the department and past division head at Pfeiffer. He is also a well-respected ecologist, biologist and scholar. He earned his undergraduate degree from Pfeiffer College and both his master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of South Carolina. He and wife Carolyn live in Misenheimer.
For more information and to contribute to the Dial/Greenhouse campaign, contact Dr. Mark McCallum, dean of the School of Natural and Health Sciences, at mark.mccallum@pfeiffer.edu.
