The 1998 graduating class began the process of establishing an endowment fund to name a scholarship for Dr. C. William McKee, the MSP Program Director/Faculty Advisor. Additional graduating classes continued this worthy tradition. The gifts from these have provided sufficient funding to endow a permanent scholarship. The goal of the graduates of the program is that this custom will be continued by future classes, and the endowment will continue to grow in order that a number of worthy future candidates in this graduate program will be aided in receiving an education.
