Giving Back and Paying Forward

By Maroon & White | fall 2014

“The Thomas J. and Donald P. Keleher Memorial Scholarship helped me purchase books and pay for tuition. It also allowed me to devote more time to my studies and excel in my classes. My family and I are so thankful for this award and very grateful to the Keleher family for their generosity.” 

—Julia Purcell (2013-14 recipient)
