Elizabethtown College hosted its annual Scholarship Luncheon on Friday, March 24 to honor the donors and friends who have established scholarships in support of Etown students.<\/p>\n
“This is one of the most special events of the year because we’re able to celebrate the connection between donors and students,” Elizabethtown College Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Brian G. Falck \u201995 said. “It’s an opportunity for our wonderful donors to be recognized for their generosity and the impact they have on our students’ Etown experience.”<\/p>\n
The event provided an opportunity for donors to connect with, and in some cases meet for the first time, the recipients of their scholarships. This year’s luncheon welcomed 70 donors and 80 scholarship recipients.<\/p>\n
Joe DePippo \u201976, co-creator of the Joseph A. \u201976 and Nancy Z. \u201979 DePippo Scholarship Fund, a scholarship established to support a student(s) of color at Elizabethtown College who are citizens of the United States with demonstrated financial need, served as this year’s feature scholarship donor speaker.<\/p>\n
“My wife Nancy and I feel honored and motivated to help remove the financial obstacles that bright young men and women face when it comes to applying to and completing college,” Depippo shared. “This is our opportunity to close today’s growing wealth gap and help to change the trajectory of students’ lives for generations to come.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The luncheon also featured a welcome message by President Betty A. Rider, remarks by Kimberly L. Manning ’23, a senior Biotechnology major and recipient of The Donald B. and Dorothy L. Stabler Scholarship, as well as a performance by the Elizabethtown College Dance Team.<\/p>\n
