Paul Schaap, a former Wayne State University chemistry professor, has donated $7 million to Hope College , his alma mater. The money will be used to fund student research projects and to pay for a science building completed in 2004 and named after Schaap. At WSU, he developed an innovative method of producing chemical light that could be applied to medical diagnoses. Schaap and his wife Carol helped establish an endowed chair in chemistry and a graduate stipend fund for Wayne State graduate students.
