Keeping A 116-Year Legacy

On his 116th day as the 16th President of Langston University, Dr. Kent J. Smith, Jr. announced the plan he and First Lady Tiffany Hill-Smith have to raise $250,000 in a scholarship endowment to celebrate the 116th anniversary of the institution's founding on March 12, 2013.
 

"I am asking all faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of Langston to commit or raise $116 by Founders' Day to ensure we surpass this goal to build and sustain the legacy of the institution", Smith said. In honor of the legacy of Dr. Ernest L. Holloway, an endowment to provide scholarships for Langston students was established in his memory. Dr. and Mrs. Smith have asked that this campaign build that endowment because it is available to all Langston students with a financial need who have at least a 2.5 GPA. "We believe permanently endowing the Holloway Scholarship is a way of supporting our students for a long time into the future while honoring the legacy of a man whose career spanned nearly a quarter of our history", said First Lady Smith.
 

Dr. Holloway devoted much of his life to Langston University and the students it served. He created an enduring legacy of giving, not only of himself, but also of educational opportunities that would result in successful lives and rewarding careers for thousands of Langston graduates.
 

You can help keep his memory alive and his legacy strong by becoming a LEGACY KEEPER. Your donation of $116 or more will help endow the Dr. Ernest L. Holloway Memorial Scholarship that will assist, in perpetuity, deserving students in obtaining excellent opportunities at Langston University.
