Don Whitney Scholarship Fund In September, 2012 the UW Bothell Office of Advancement partnered with MBA Alumni and began reaching out to faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Don Whitney to try and create a scholarship to honor Don and the impact he had on us all, but most importantly, the UW Bothell MBA students over the years. Through these efforts we were able to raise enough money to endow this scholarship, which will allow it to live in perpetuity and help to benefit countless MBA students here at UW Bothell. To date, we have received over $25,000 in gifts and pledges, with more coming in every week. This would not have been possible without all of you and we want to thank you all for your generous support in honor of Don. We are currently working on the endowment paperwork with the Office of Advancement and External Relations and we are thrilled to announce that this Fall we will announce our first Don Whitney Endowed Scholarship recipient. In addition, we are continuing to raise money for this scholarship so that it may benefit even more MBA students in future years while again honoring Don Whitney for all that he has meant to this program. For more information on how to contribute or questions about anything related to this scholarship, please contact Associate Director of Advancement, Sean Marsh at smarsh@uwb.edu. Thank you everyone for your generous donations! 15
