ONEONTA – SUNY Oneonta’s Science Discovery Center will be renamed the A.J. Read Science Discovery Center during a rededication ceremony 5-7 p.m. Thursday in the Morris Conference Center on campus.

The Science Discovery Center was founded by Professor Emeritus of Physics Albert J. Read in 1987. Read taught at SUNY Oneonta from 1957 until his retirement in 1985. He was chair of the Physics Department from 1983 through 1984, and served as director of the Science Discovery Center until 2005.

His charitable gifts to the college have helped and will continue to support the operations of the SDC, as well as endowing the A.J. Read Scholarship for science and science education students.
