Manships
Memoralize Mother
In
response to a request made by long-time friend, Janet Boles Crawford,
chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Baton Rouge Community College
Foundation, David Manship, together with his brothers and sister, established
a professorship to honor their mother.
On June 28, 2005,
David C. Manship, Douglas L. Manship, Jr., Richard F. Manship, and Dina
Manship Planche, made a donation to the BRCC Foundation to endow a professorship
to memorialize Mrs. Jane French Manship, their mother.
Their gift also
qualifies for state matching funds under the Board of Regents Support
Fund, which increases the total endowment to $100,000.
The Jane French
Manship Professorship will be used to support academic activities including
instruction, research, equipment and materials purchases, and faculty
improvement within the Department of English at BRCC.
The Manship family’s
generosity continues the legacy of giving first established by their
father by permanently supporting higher education in our community.
Parents Establish
Scholarship to Memorialize Son
Mr. Eugene “Gene” and Mrs.
Cheryl Rutter established a scholarship fund at Baton Rouge Community
College to memorialize their son, Eugene J. Rutter, III, a resident of
Covington, Louisiana, who was killed in 2003 in an automobile accident
while he was a student at BRCC.
As a testament to his life, the Eugene J. Rutter, III
Memorial Scholarship Fund was established. In addition to the Rutter’s
initial gift, numerous contributions were made by friends and relatives
from across the country to enhance the Scholarship Fund.
“This scholarship will provide funding to students,
who like Eugene, value a college education but experience difficulty
due to learning disabilities” said Mrs. Rutter. When awarding
the annual scholarship, priority will also be given to financially disadvantaged
students.
“Baton Rouge Community College pays tribute to
the life of this remarkable young man whose dedication and commitment
to learning lives on through the grateful student recipients”
said Dr. Mrytle E.B. Dorsey, chancellor.
