Contribute to the new Scholarship
for International Students!
Ithaca College has just created a new scholarship for international
students. The John E. Keshishoglou Scholarship for International
Students is a newly endowed fund, to be awarded to an international
student with academic excellence and demonstrated financial need
and
will see its first recipient in the fall of 2004.
The Keshishoglou Fund in Global Communications, established in
2000,
provided the resources to create this scholarship. It was initiated
by
faculty in the Park School and assisted with gifts from faculty,
friends, and professor emeritus Keshishoglou. An additional fund
has
also been designated: the Keshishoglou Fund for International Scholars.
It will provide expenses and/or honorariums for visiting international
lecturers, professors, or scholars.
Prof. Keshishoglou came to the College in 1965 as chairman of
the
Department of Television-Radio and director of the Instructional
Resources Center. During his time at the College, Keshishoglou
served as
the founding dean for the School of Communications from 1971 to
1979. He
also developed the international exchange program between the school
and
Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
The Office of International Programs and student leaders representing
the international student clubs will continue to work toward enlarging
the endowment for this new scholarship. They welcome gifts from
students, alumni, and all members of the Ithaca College community.
Anyone interested in supporting this fund may contact Elayne Nicholas,
associate director of special programs, 607-274-1286 or

All gifts will be acknowledged and a tax
receipt given.
