Strong Foundation Gift to HUSOE for Teacher Education

The Hattie M. Strong Foundation has awarded the HUSOE a gift to provide scholarship support for teacher education students. Committed to the traditional preparation of teachers, the Strong Foundation will support two students per year who are enrolled in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The 2011 Strong Teacher-Scholars are Leslee C. Clerkley and Rebecca Millard and last year's 2010 Strong Teacher-Scholars were Tylah D. Davies and Omore' Okhomina, students in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The Hattie M. Strong Foundation was created in 1928 under the auspices of Ms. Hattie M. Strong, an individual with immense energy and a variety of interests whose philanthropic endeavors included building hospitals, educational institutions, and social service agencies in the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. A consistent theme which ran through all of her philanthropic activities was a desire to help people help themselves.
