About Robert Thomson
Robert (“Bob”) Thomson graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1975 with a degree in Physics. Eventually, he moved to the south for many years before returning to Michigan. In addition to his career, he was a volunteer park ranger, and traveled to many national parks to work.
In 2021, Bob established an endowment to provide a permanent source of funding for research focused on significantly improving the reduction of major mental illnesses and disorders within the Center for the Advancement of Neurobehavioral Health.
Having witnessed the effects of significant mental illnesses and disorders on those affected, their loved ones and caregivers, Bob hopes that this endowment and the work of the Center will create positive change for individuals struggling with their mental health, as well as for their caregivers and family members.
The Center is named in honor of Mr. Thomson’s generous support and commitment to the mission.
