The Circle of Friends Plaza honors the memory of Dr. Katherine Pennington, a loyal alumna, dedicated pediatrician, and faithful friend of higher education. Her personal generosity, friendly demeanor and commitment to making our community a better place, inspired the Circle of Friends Plaza. The Circle of Friends Endowment Fund provides legacy scholarships to children and grandchildren of Friends University alumni. As the endowment grows, so does our ability to offer meaningful scholarships to Friends University’s legacies.
