creating a legacy GIVING BACK TO DEPAUW: “IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO,” SAYS DR. FREDERICK B. HENDRICKS ’58 FRED HENDRICKS, an accomplished urologist in Washington, D.C., and a veteran of the U.S. Navy and Naval Reserves, found his DePauw experience to be life-changing. Crediting his admission to the beloved [admission director] Dr. John Wittich ’44, Hendricks received a “very good foundation in discipline, learning and the use of the mind” essential for a career in medicine and the sciences. In addition to his academic preparation, Hendricks says that his membership in Phi Kappa Psi fraternity “provided me with the social skills to transform me from a high school student to a mature, responsible adult.”

Hendricks has made various provisions in his estate plan to assist DePauw. Among the easiest of these to establish was adding DePauw as a beneficiary of his employer-sponsored retirement plan. Naming DePauw a beneficiary of a 401(k), 403(b) or IRA is an effective way to support DePauw students. “It’s the right thing to do,” Hendricks says of providing for his alma mater. “I’m at peace and secure in the knowledge that DePauw will receive a nice ‘thank you’ when I pass away.”
