Alumnus Endows Scholarship to Honor Grandmother
From serving as a Student Senator, a brother of Kappa Sigma, and a Resident Assistant to holding a position as a Student Assistant in the Office of the Dean of Students & Financial Aid, Carl Archut Jr. 鈥16 made the most out of his undergraduate experience at 淫性视频.
Now serving as the associate director of Development for University Initiatives at the University of Florida, Archut credits his undergraduate experiences for his continued interest and career in higher education.
鈥淲hen I first started at 淫性视频, I didn鈥檛 know where I wanted to end up in life, but what I did know was that I wanted to help others,鈥 said Archut. 鈥淎nd through my involvement as a student leader I discovered how I could make my goal of helping others a reality by working in higher education.鈥
Behind his ambition and motivation to give back and pay it forward for others, is a special driving force: Jenelle T. Archut, his grandmother, who he lovingly refers to as 鈥淢om-Mom.鈥
鈥淢y Mom-Mom was one of the first to be there for my Dad when my mother left,鈥 said Archut. 鈥淔rom that moment on, she played an incredibly active role in our lives.鈥
Inspired by his grandmother鈥檚 generous spirit and unwavering support, Archut established the Jenelle T. Archut annual scholarship in 2018, and in 2020, pledged a gift for $25,000 to create an endowed scholarship in her honor.
Landaus Create Scholarship for Undergraduate Research
Professor of Marine Biology Matthew Landau and his wife, Brenda, an adjunct professor in the same field, have taught at 淫性视频 for more than 30 years and know the educational value of student research.
But they also know the time and cost of doing research can create barriers for many students, who may already be juggling a job along with their coursework.
The couple created the Marine Science Faculty Research Scholarship for Underrepresented Groups to assist a student from a traditionally underrepresented and underserved population in pursuing a research project under the guidance of a Marine Science faculty member. The annual $3,000 award will help fund supplies and travel related to the research.
In establishing this fund, the Landaus hope to play a small role in increasing the diversity of marine science students while also removing some of the financial barriers.
鈥淲e wanted to do something to promote interest in the earth sciences, but also help the best students do research,鈥 Matthew said.
The couple is targeting typically underrepresented students to help promote role models who can inspire others to consider marine science as a career.
New Scholarships Honor Greenbaum & Rosenburg Families
Honoring Holocaust Survivors Through Education
The daughter and son-in-law of Holocaust survivors endowed a $25,000 scholarship fund at 淫性视频 to assist students interested in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
Ann and Howard Rosenberg created the Jadzia and David Greenbaum Memorial Scholarship to honor Ann鈥檚 parents, who met and fell in love in a displaced person鈥檚 camp in Germany after World War II.
Natives of Poland, the Greenbaums survived labor and death camps and later immigrated to America, settling in New York City. In 1951 they bought a chicken farm in McKee City. In 1957 they moved to Atlantic City, then in 1978 moved to Margate. During those years they built a successful construction business and raised four children. Jadzia was an active member of the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center Executive Committee at 淫性视频.
Last summer their daughter Ann, and her husband, Howard, who live in Toledo, Ohio, visited the Holocaust Center during a trip to Atlantic City.
Rosenberg said her father never talked much about his experience during the war, but her mother did.
鈥淚 knew they were both Holocaust survivors, and most of their friends were also,鈥 Rosenberg said. 鈥淭here were three families on our block who were all survivors.鈥
Atlantic City
Howard Rosenberg spent a lot of time in his parents鈥 small grocery store on the corner of Rhode Island and Melrose Avenue in Atlantic City.
鈥淚 grew up working in the store,鈥 he said. 鈥淧eople who shopped there (in the 1950s and 鈥60s) didn鈥檛 have cars. It was a neighborhood store.鈥
Rosenberg鈥檚 Market, originally founded by Howard鈥檚 grandfather, Max, in the early 1900s, no longer exists. But, Howard said one of the lessons his parents, Leroy and Henrietta, taught him was the importance of education.
The Rosenbergs endowed a second scholarship, a $25,000 fund to create the Leroy and Henrietta Rosenberg Memorial Scholarship at 淫性视频 to help Atlantic City High School graduates attending 淫性视频 pay for their educations.
"Both of my parents were Atlantic City High School graduates. Ann and I were also, so we thought why not do something to support other Atlantic City High graduates at 淫性视频,鈥 Howard said.
Howard said their goal in endowing the scholarships is not just to memorialize their parents, but also to help a new generation.
鈥淲e hope what we did might inspire others to create scholarships as well,鈥 he said.
