In 2005, the trustees of the Robert M. Fisher Memorial Foundation presented Towson University with a "transformational" $10.2 million to endow scholarships, establish a chair in the biological and physical sciences, and rename the College of Science and Mathematics in recognition of Jess and Mildred Fisher. In the fall of 2016, the college established the Jess and Mildred Fisher Endowed Chair in the Mathematical and Computing Sciences.
