Terence Bradshaw Chemistry Professor

Terence C. "Terry" Bradshaw was born in Manitoba, Canada, but moved to a 110-acre farm near Corvallis when he was 10 years old. He later relocated to Yakima, Washington, then studied at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, before graduating from the University of Washington. An investor and engineer, Bradshaw worked at securities company Harris, Upham & Co. He was married to Marguerite Bradshaw until her death in January 1970. He and Isabel Hopkins Gillie Bradshaw were married in December 1971. The following year he passed away at the age of 64.

Bradshaw attended many events at OSU throughout his life, and he left a portion of his estate to the university's chemistry, engineering, and agriculture programs. After OSU received his $3.3 million estate gift in 2010, part of the funds were used to create an endowed faculty position in the Department of Chemistry.
