WELCOME TO OUR 85TH YEAR

This issue of Schepp Connections reflects the diversity,
talent and unselfish dedication of our current and past
scholars. Schepp Scholars continue to devote their
lives to changing the world through their leadership
in public service, medicine, the arts, counseling, and
teaching.
The Foundation will celebrate its 85th anniversary on
April 10, 2011 in New York City. Invitations are on
the way and we hope that you will be able to attend
and participate in the fun. Musical performances and
art exhibitions by our scholars will create a wonderful
backdrop for the lively conversation and generational
mixing that will highlight the 85th Anniversary Gala.
Financially, our endowment is recovering – but more
slowly than we would like and, as a result, we are still
unable to fund as many scholars as we have in past
years. This Anniversary Gala is an appropriate milestone
for each of us to renew our dedication, energy and
commitment to supporting the Foundation’s work.
Your generous gifts have made a crucial difference
and we—along with our current and future Schepp
scholars — are sincerely grateful.
