DuPont Pioneer $1 Million Contribution for the Hall of Laureates

In January 2008, Paul Schickler and Dean Oestreich met with Ambassador Quinn to present their company's $1 million contribution to the World Food Prize project to transform the Des Moines Public Library building into the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates. This contribution played a special role in the effort to raise over $30 million for the project.
