Development Updates: Summer 2011

Thanks to your generous support, the FSU College of Social Work continues to fulfill it’s “student-centered” mission. Here are just a few highlights of the the gifts received this summer:

• Dr. Diana DiNitto established the Mary DiNitto Endowed Scholarship in honor of her mother’s 90th birthday. This generous gift will provide support to students of high moral character in good standing in the College of Social Work, and preference will be given to students who exhibit financial need. An alumna and former faculty member of the College, Dr. DiNitto is the Cullen Trust Centennial Professor in Alcohol Studies and Education and Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work.
• The College of Social Work received an additional gift to the Herndon Scholars Program, sponsored by the Helios Education Foundation. Tom Herndon, a CSW alumnus and Leadership Council Member, has graciously directed these funds to be used for student scholarships.
• International Programs within the College of Social Work recently benefitted from a gift from the Robert P. Hurrle Trust, to be used for student travel stipends.
