The John V. Wehausen Memorial Endowment

The John V. Wehausen Memorial Fund supports UC Berkeley graduate students conducting advanced research in fluid mechanics, particularly in areas related to ocean and marine engineering. Support provides stipends, fees, and research funding for students exploring topics such as surface waves, hydromechanics, marine vehicles, and ocean energy — helping to prepare the next generation of engineers and researchers in this critical field.

In order to preserve the spirit of the purpose of the fund, and the intent of the original donors who established it, new donors who make gifts to this endowment understand that changes may be made to the fund in the future if it ever becomes difficult to spend. Any future changes will be consistent with the original purpose as written here. As such, new donors agree upon making their gifts that any future potential change to the endowment purpose may be made without their consultation.
