50 CHESTNUT HILL
Georgia S. McWhinney, Ph.D., former associate professor of education, passed away in May. She joined CHC after retiring from the Abington School District; received the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award while at CHC; and retired in 2002. Her family has established The Dr. Georgia S. and W. Russell McWhinney Endowed Scholarship in her memory. Tom Kearns, Ph.D., joined CHC in 1965 and was the director of the Act 101 Program — a state program that supports students with financial need who also need support services to succeed in college — from its inception in 1973. He served as chair of the Philosophy Department for many years and retired in 2002. Dr. Kearns passed away in August 2014.
