John served as the Foundation�s secretary-treasurer until 1992 and established a scholarship program with the funds remaining after the purchase of the land for the college. He wrote the first check in support of the scholarship fund. John was instrumental in establishing programs to assist faculty members with loans and advances for professional development, and emergency funds for students. He was appointed executive vice-president of NCEF after serving as secretary-treasurer and continues to serve on the Foundation Board. |
