Help Us Honor Westminster President Michael Bassis
After 10 years of service as Westminster College's president, Michael Bassis is retiring. We'd like your help in honoring him.
We are compiling a book of letters and notes from Westminster alumni and friends telling Dr. Bassis what his presidency has meant to us. We invite you to pen a few words of thanks to him for what he has done for Westminster, for our community, or for you, personally. We will present this book of notes and letters to Michael before he leaves the college on July 15. Please email your thoughts to April 30. We are also commemorating Michael and Mary Bassis for their contributions to the college by establishing the Michael and Mary Bassis Scholarship Fund. Scholarships from this fund will be offered to students with financial need, with preference given to individuals from underrepresented groups and those who participate in community service. Please contribute what you can to the Michael and Mary Bassis Scholarship Fund, both to thank them for their service and to help make a college education more affordable for others. With the participation of alumni, board members, faculty, staff, and other friends of the college, we look forward to establishing a significant endowment that will help struggling and deserving students for generations to come.
Click here to give easily and securely online, and please designate your gift to the Bassis Scholarship Fund.
