6 Faculty Senate/Board of Trustees Scholarship

n 1984, Dr. Steven Wallech, then president of the Faculty Senate, suggested that the faculty could do something to encourage academic I achievement by funding a scholarship for a returning sophomore who had maintained a high GPA in at least two areas of academic en­ deavor and showed leadership qualities by involve­ ment in other aspects of college life. The proposal was adopted by the Faculty Senate and supported by the Board of Trustees, who agreed to match the funds contributed by the faculty. The award was presented for the first time this Fall semester to Stella Uhm. Stella was named to the Dean's List for academic achievement for both semesters of her freshman year, and she is a member of the Cedalions, a campus service organization. Originally from Seoul, Korea, she now lives in Torrance, Calif. with her family, including a brother who is also a Marymount student. Dr. Laurence Dunlop, Chair, Marymount College Faculty Senate
