Congrats to PG major Jon Roberts who has been award the Harry Cain Scholarship administered by the School of Business and Leadership. The Cain Scholarship "was established to support students who plan to enter the field of public administration or public service. Applicants should have a deep commitment to service to the community and proficiency in public speaking."
As important, we want to thank alum Mark Smith '61, who not only was central in creating this scholarship, but also making certain that it was made open to all students, irrespective of major. Mark was himself a family friend of former Tacoma mayor and US Senator Harry Cain, and while an undergraduate wrote a impressive thesis on Cain's political career (I've got a copy if anyone would like to borrow it).
As is so often the case, we are indebted to our alums for both creating opportunities and directing our students to them.
