For the second time in four years, PetSmart Inc. has bestowed a $1 million gift on the University of Arizona's Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences.
The newest gift establishes an endowed professorship in the PetSmart name, in the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing, which is housed in the Norton School.
The gift also will be used to launch the new Career-Wise Cats Companion Animal Track program, which will introduce UA students to careers in retailing, with a major emphasis on the PetSmart model. In 2004, PetSmart donated $1 million for a research-oriented professorship in the Norton School, now occupied by Eric Arnould.
