Dean G. Alec Stewart Student Resource Fund
We are pleased to share that the Frederick Honors College
Dean’s Office is now officially named the G. Alec Stewart Dean’s Suite.
This naming was made possible through the establishment
of the Dean G. Alec Stewart Student Resource Fund which was funded through a
generous gift from FHC Board of Visitors Chair Guy Molinari (A&S ’83). Guy’s
gift enables us to pay tribute to the beloved founding Dean of the Honors
College, G. Alec “Doc” Stewart, and honor his legacy by providing funding to
students to partake in life-changing experiences.
Alec was a legendary figure in the field of Honors – one
of the foremost innovators of the concept of Honors education who pioneered the
approach of connecting the interdisciplinarity, community and mentorship of a
liberal arts education with the breadth of opportunity and dynamism of a public
research university. Alec was also one of the most beloved and influential
leaders in the history of our University. During my time here, I have been
humbled and moved to learn about the depth and profundity of his impact on the
lives of the many, many students he worked with.
Thank you for considering a gift to support this new fund
in honor of Doc Stewart.
Sincerely,
