The Legacy Of Crockett Hall Inspires New Scholarship Fund
Crockett Hall unifies the campus, its students and alumni—then and now. It’s in that same spirit that three alumni have turned their recollections of living on campus into a first-of-its kind scholarship aimed to help new students offset the costs of living on campus.
Last fall, former Crockett Hall residents and alumni Marion “Moe” W. Smith ’73, John L. Sabo ’74 and Steve Curran ’75 established the Crockett Hall Unity Scholarship Fund.
