Attention Parents and

Scholarship to an entering, full-time freshman who is the child
or grandchild of an alumna/us who is either a Pride Member or a
Life Member of the MSU Alumni Association
(click

The Alumni Legacy
Scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need, as
determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid, and academic
achievement as determined by the Office of Admissions.
Interested students must file the free application for
Federal Student

school, indicating MSU as one of the recipients. A completed

Memorial Service for
Dr. Harry Hoitsma
A service will be held on Sunday, April 22 at
2 p.m. in Kops Lounge, Russ Hall to celebrate the life of Harry
Hoitsma, who died last fall at the age of 77. Hoitsma was the
founding chairperson of the Department of Health Professions and
served from 1971 to 1995 when he retired.
Under his leadership, the Department began with two other
faculty and grew to include 11 full time faculty members plus 20
adjuncts, who served as many as 200 undergraduate and graduate
majors a year preparing for careers in health education and the
allied health sciences. He was instrumental in the negotiations
that led to the annexing of the New Jersey School of
Conservation,
a unit of state government in need of strong
institutional support, into MSU. If you are interested in
attending, you are asked to RSVP by April 19 to Reza Shahrokh at
973-628-0556; rezahahrokh@aol.com.
