[Back to Inside]

It may not be as sentimental as a Hallmark card, but Inside WSU will once again publish the holiday greetings of donors who give to a special scholarship fund.

The Holiday Greeting Card Scholarship fund is one of WSU’s longstanding traditions. For more than 25 years, faculty and staff have contributed to the fund that benefits students and sends holiday greetings, as well.

The late Nicholas Pronko, professor emeritus of psychology, thought that by having just one mass holiday greeting, faculty and staff could donate the money normally spent on cards and postage to help students.

The Endowment Association will mail letters calling for donations.

Names of donors will be printed in Inside WSU. Those who’ve given to the fund by Friday, Nov. 19, will have their names printed in the Dec. 2 issue of Inside WSU, which is the last issue of the fall semester. Donations after Nov. 20 will be noted in the Jan. 20 issue.

Last year, about $3,500 was raised for the fund.
