The College long has taken pride in its policy of need-blind admissions — that is, admitting students on the basis of their talents and abilities, regardless of their financial circumstances. This is made possible by the generosity of thousands of donors, including many who have set up scholarship funds to directly benefit students in need.

On November 6, hundreds of scholarship donors and the students whom they support met in the Roone Arledge Auditorium of Alfred Lerner Hall for the annual Dean’s Scholarship Reception. For some, it was a chance to renew relationships, while for others, it was an opportunity to meet face-to-face for the first time.

Speaking on behalf of the scholarship recipients, Todd Keryc ’04 thanked the donors for making it possible for students like him to attend the College, when they might not otherwise have been able to do so.

Dean Austin Quigley spoke of the evolution of the campus and compared it to the way students grow and mature during their years as undergraduates. “An educational institution is an immense cauldron of transformation that is constantly infused by the energy of its students,” he said. Quigley thanked the donors, saying, “There are all sorts of students whose lives will take a course they would not otherwise have taken were it not for you.”
