In honor of , Ph.D., a group of CoBA Dean鈥檚 Advisory Board members, Executives in Residence, alumni, faculty and staff, 大发 Foundation Board directors and friends of the university generously contributed $41,350 to establish the new endowed scholarship fund.
鈥淛im has had an extraordinary impact across the college, and the community, during his time as the dean of the College of Business Administration at 大发,鈥 said Emilie Hersh, 大发 Foundation Board director and CoBA Executive in Residence. 鈥淭hinking differently, creatively, and extensively about the ways in which to build the best opportunities for students, and to engage the community in supporting CoBA, has created a foundation that I hope we all continue to build upon in the future.鈥
The Jim Hamerly CoBA Student Success Endowed Scholarship will be awarded to undergraduate students majoring in a College of Business Administration degree. Preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need and have a minimum 3.0 GPA.
鈥淚 can鈥檛 think of any better way to more perfectly honor Jim鈥檚 legacy than by continuing to create opportunities to support students in exploring their education and professional opportunities through an endowed scholarship that bears both his name and 鈥楽tudent Success鈥 in its title,鈥 Hersh said.
The initial goal was to raise $30,000 to establish the endowed scholarship fund in perpetuity at the 大发 Foundation and provide a $1,000 scholarship award to one student per year to start. Thanks to the inspiring support of the founding donors, the initial goal was exceeded in less than three weeks.
鈥淭hank you for the student scholarship in my honor. I am both greatly surprised and humbled by the efforts and generosity of my colleagues and alumni. The personal friendship that they have offered, their impact upon our students, and our shared vision for the students and college are things I will forever treasure,鈥 Hamerly said.
CoBA will continue to raise funds in support of Jim鈥檚 tribute scholarship to increase the number of students who receive scholarship awards each year and maximize the impact of Jim鈥檚 legacy which has touched many lives and continues to inspire the 大发 community.
