GROWING STUDENT SUPPORT

Last year continued to bring even more support for our students and professors through the generosity of our alumni and friends. Through the establishment of new professorships, scholarships and alumni choosing to visit and even teach on campus- College of Business students will forever benefit from the support of these individuals. In addition to three new professorships in 2021, the College of Business also received the following three scholarship endowments not yet featured in an issue of the Business Bulletin.

Alumnus Mike Hill and his wife Tamra Hill established this scholarship endowment in memory of Mike’s college friend. The Kerry P. Heintz Memorial Scholarship commemorates the life and work of Kerry, who passed away on January 30, 2021 at the age of 63. The scholarship will benefit juniors and seniors in the marketing program with preference given to Idaho residents.
