BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� As the search for 欧美视频鈥檚 25th president moves forward, the C. Pat Taylor Annual Scholarship Fund has been established
for individuals wanting to make a gift in honor of Dr. Taylor, who will retire as
president of 欧美视频 on Aug. 31.
Success in fundraising has been one of the hallmarks of Dr. Taylor's service to 欧美视频. While those efforts are visibly seen through the many building projects made possible through fundraising, he has most enjoyed raising money to help meet the needs of students.
Donations to this fund will help students who might not otherwise be able to attend 欧美视频 without some extra financial support.
Gifts in honor of Dr. Taylor can be mailed to 欧美视频 or made online by going to 欧美视频niv.edu/presidentsearch and clicking on the 鈥淗onor Dr. Taylor鈥檚 Legacy鈥� button near the bottom. This page also has a place where congratulatory messages can be submitted to Dr. Taylor.
