Work Ethic Worthy of Investment
Lorna Milkovich Abernathy ’83 and her husband, Justin, could have invested their money anywhere, but they chose to invest in ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â students because Lorna believes our students come from hard-working roots.
Their Commitment Inspired Hers
Kristina Taylor-Porter '06, M'08 and her husband, Rob Porter '94, are members of the Loyalty Society, which recognizes five consecutive years of giving. They give each year in recognition of the support Kristina received from the Sociology Department faculty during her graduate work.

When Don Mash ’64 presented the commencement address to ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â graduates, he related a deeply personal story that explained part of the reason he created two scholarship funds. As a retired college president, he also understands the impact investing in higher education can have on our world.
