Entering its 14th year, the Western Carolina University Staff Senate Scholarship supports currently enrolled or accepted, incoming students who are children and relatives of SHRA and EHRA non-faculty employees. Staff Senate was able to award five $1,000 scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic year. One major goal of the Staff Senate is to continue to fund-raise so the scholarship endowment can grow and support dependents of WCU Staff for years to come. The Senate’s Scholarship Committee leads the Senate’s fundraising efforts by soliciting donations and selling ornaments. This year Staff Senate is proud to continue their partnership with Dr. Patrick Gardner and the Rapid Center to produce a limited-edition ornament. The 2020 Staff Senate ornament was designed and made in house by extremely talented WCU engineering students. Ornaments will be made available to purchase beginning Friday, September 25. This year, all sales will be conducted online through the Western Carolina University Marketplace. All proceeds of the $10 ornament will benefit the Staff Senate Scholarship. In keeping with the 2020-2021 Campus Theme: Water, this year’s ornament design is the shape of a drop of water and features The Catafount on WCU’s campus. The Senate appreciates the support the scholarship has received from the campus community over the years and looks forward to working together to continue to support our students.
