IT PAYS TO BE KIND

For Bailey Stamp, kindness is its own reward. So, when the member of Trulaske’s Heartland Scholars Academy helped fellow students grieve for a member who died unexpectedly, she wasn’t hoping for anything in return. That altruistic spirit was all the more reason Stamp was the first recipient of the business school’s Roth Kindness Scholarship. “My hope is that if students can learn the importance of kindness before they head out into the world, they’ll be more successful,” says Leslie Guyor, BS BA ’90, whose gift founded what she hopes will be an annual scholarship. “And the world will become a friendlier, happier place.” Stamp was happy to receive the $1,000 award, and she intends to pay it forward. “It’s not hard to be kind,” Stamp says. “It doesn’t cost you anything. And people notice when you’re doing kind things.”
