and Muriel Smittcamp and fam-ily.
Earl Smittcamp, a prominent
agribusiness leader, graduated from
California State University, Fresno
in 1939. Earl and Muriel, also a
Fresno State graduate, have four
children — all alumni of Fresno
State — and 14 grandchildren. Earl
Smittcamp and his family dem-onstrate
the leadership excellence,
innovative thinking, and personal
daring honors graduates strive to
achieve. The Smittcamps exemplify
their belief that education is really
dependent upon what an individual
makes of it and that “excellence” is
never accepting less than the best
from yourself. The Honors College
owes its existence to their generous
support.
