In honor of Dr. Elsi Vassdal Ellis, support Design students and outstanding creative students in need. Over $22,152 of $25,000 raised so far. Continue the legacy of Dr. Elsi Vassdal Ellis: help support creative WWU students in need! To discuss a deeper investment or multi-year gift toward this initiative, contact Marlena Dzis-Corey, Director of Development, at dziscom@wwu.edu. Dr. Elsi Vassdal Ellis taught as a beloved professor at Western for 40 years. She started in 1977 and retired in 2017. Elsi's passion for books and design inspired many students. “She made me fall in love with books.” - Dan S. Elsi cared for her students and community. She assembled a press room full of presses and equipment to make sure students could learn through hands-on experience. Elsi made sure her students could always get into the studio to work. When students had a chance to do something special but couldn't get the supplies, Elsi found ways to help, sharing her own materials or chipping in financially when possible. She built strong relationships with staff so that she could support her students, even baking cheesecakes for the facilities staff to keep press room projects on their radar. Elsi's creative output and work ethic was an inspiration to her students. She provided rich and robust classroom experiences, developed detailed instructions and materials, and shared her experiments, new discoveries, and numerous personal projects with her classes. After retiring, Elsi hasn’t slowed down. She has taken part in about 100 workshops! She still loves teaching and sharing her love for book arts. In 1995, Elsi created the Vassdal Design Scholarship. This scholarship supports students pursuing a Design degree in the College of Fine & Performing Arts. Sometimes it also supports outstanding students who are especially in need. So far, more than $40,000 has helped 40 students thanks to this scholarship. Now, almost 30 years after the scholarship began, three of her former students have stepped up to ensure the scholarship Elsi has been personally funding continues into the future. They are creating an endowment fund for the Vassdal Design Scholarship, to sustain Elsi's support of students into the future. Please add your contribution to this fund and support Western Design students through a self-sustaining, annual scholarship! By supporting this fundraiser, you can help continue Elsi’s tradition of kindness, creativity, and opportunity for future students. Elsi Vassdal Ellis on Instagram

The Rose Gaffney Kinesiology Scholarship

Provide scholarships for Kinesiology students in honor of Dr. Brilla’s birthday!

Dr. Brilla and her siblings wish to honor their mother's memory with this scholarship while also providing meaningful support for Graduate students.

Dr. Brilla and her siblings wish to honor their mother's memory with this scholarship while also providing meaningful support for Graduate students. Provide scholarships for Kinesiology students in honor of Dr. Brilla’s birthday! Rosemary Gaffney was a staunch believer in the power of education to change lives. Having lived through the Depression, she had to quit school in the 8th grade to work in a factory to help support her family. Her desire was to get an education and become a nurse but was never able to return to school. She had to continue to work in factories as a single parent. She often told her six children and ten grandchildren, “you can push a shovel or a pencil” and was pleased that nearly all pursued higher education. She passed away peacefully in October, 2014. She was a loving mother, high-spirited, with a fiery sense of humor. Rose lived life as a genuine, caring, honest person. She enjoyed physical activity and supported her children and grandchildren throughout their competitive events. A fierce competitor on the links, she had a passion for golf, achieving Elmhurst Ladies' Club championship multiple times. She was a long-standing member of Elmhurst Country Club. Rose was an animal lover, who took in stray cats and dogs who arrived at her home. She had a special fondness for furry friends. She was an extremely generous person, once buying all the candy at a fund-raising event for the school children’s annual trip. No one knew she did this until the teacher wrote the family a note upon Rose’s passing. She was the epitome of giving the “shirt off her back” to help others. Dr. Brilla and her siblings wish to honor their mother with this scholarship endowment while also providing meaningful support for Graduate students in the Kinesiology-Exercise Science program at WWU where Dr. Brilla has spent the bulk of her career as a professor in the Kinesiology program and served as the program Graduate Coordinator for nearly 20 years. Please make your gift today and support deserving students while honoring the memory of Rose, who always understood the meaning of higher education.

The Sue Kidd Memorial Scholarship

$20,179 raised so far towards $25k to endow a scholarship for all future Journalism students in Memory of Sue Kidd.

You can provide journalism students an annual scholarship in memory of Sue Kidd by helping us reach our endowment goal!

You can provide journalism students an annual scholarship in memory of Sue Kidd by helping us reach our endowment goal! raised so far towards $25k to endow a scholarship for all future Journalism students in Memory of Sue Kidd. With her writing and in life, Sue Kidd was a ‘force of nature.’ A longtime food critic and editor for The News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington, Sue was known as a fearless advocate for readers as well as for her dogged pursuit of all things related to food. “What better way to connect with one another than through a conversation about food?” she wrote. At 52, she left us far too soon. She died March 2, 2022 after a courageous 26-day battle with aggressive cancer. Sue graduated with a journalism degree in 1993 from Western Washington University. As a proud South Puget Sound native, she returned to the area where she began her restaurant writing career in 1997 at the King County Journal, then landed at The News Tribune in 2004. Hired as an editor, she took over the newspaper’s dining blog, TNT Diner, in 2009. Sue started her own independent food blog, Dine Pierce County, funded by reader donations, in 2019 after leaving The News Tribune. There, she continued the same review work she pursued at The News Tribune, but at a slower pace. Sue got her start in college media at Green River Community College, where she was a DJ for the college radio station KGRG 89.9 FM in the late ‘80s. The pioneering station developed its rock format when Sue was on staff. It started when students began playing local, unknown-to-the-masses music, which exploded into famous ‘90s grunge bands like Green River, Mudhoney and Nirvana. Sue in her college days at WWU. When Sue arrived at Western in the fall of 1990, she joined the journalism program and quickly established herself as a leader and a role model who inspired her peers on The Western Front (now known as The Front), where she served as arts and entertainment editor, news editor and editor in chief. She also wrote for Klipsun, Western’s award-winning student magazine. The ‘90s gave rise to a “culture war” climate fueled in part by the AIDS epidemic, which battered the LGBTQ+ community. The era fueled Sue’s commitment to quality journalism and calling out “bigotry, hatred, homophobia, racism and shady politics.” Sue’s authentic voice, pointed humor, bursts of trademark laughter and hip vibe were hard to miss. She was a strong advocate for the student voice and challenged her fellow classmates to engage “early and often” as opposed to expending energy on “hasty protests.” Sue and her husband, Paul Nimz. “Don't sit around and wait for other people to write about things that are important to you. Do it yourself. Any student can submit to The Front,” Sue wrote in one editorial and continued in another, “Shouldn’t we (college students) grasp the opportunity to make actual changes while we are still idealistic and energized by our education?” Contributions to the fund will go toward junior or senior students who are working for a WWU media outlet or pursuing an internship who embody the promise and passion displayed by our dear friend and colleague Sue. Our goal is to make this an endowed scholarship so Sue’s legacy lives on which requires at least $25,000 to be raised so please help us reach our goal for Sue and all future WWU journalists by making your gift today!

Jose S. Velasquez Memorial Scholarship

$14,175 raised so far in memory of Jose Velasquez!

In memory of Jose S. Velasquez to provide vital support for ongoing new student success with a preference towards Filipino community college transfers.

In memory of Jose S. Velasquez to provide vital support for ongoing new student success with a preference towards Filipino community college transfers. raised so far in memory of Jose Velasquez! Born in Manila in the Philippines, Jose S. Velasquez immigrated to the US at age 17, just in time to pick up a high school diploma in Clovis, New Mexico. He was immediately drafted into the Vietnam War. He served the US as an Army Ranger in the 82nd Airborne Division and Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LLRP), returning to civilian life after receiving two Purple Hearts. Jose attended City College of San Francisco, where he and his girlfriend, Maria, were student activists, fighting for civil rights. He married Maria, the love of his life for 45 years. Although PTSD was a barrier to his academic success, he found both joy and success in the printing business until he retired. At age 67, he was diagnosed with PTSD-related early onset dementia, which quickly led to physiological complications. He shared his last breath with the world on October 19, 2018. Jose spoke about his experiences as an Filipino soldier in the US Army delicately. He shared inspirational stories with Western's Filipino American Student Association, keynoting one of their first heritage events; served as a panelist for Wing Luke Museum's Looking Like the Enemy panel; and he's featured in the book A Different Story: Stories of Asian Pacific American Veterans. His constant energy and athleticism fueled participation in a variety of activities. He coached multiple generations of both boys and girls soccer teams, ran multiple marathons, biked the Seattle to Portland ride four times, and loved to golf and bowl. He wrote poetry for PTSD healing and read incessantly. He was dedicated to his church and extended family. A committed lifelong learner, he soaked in new information, thought deeply, and led with genuine curiosity, often sparking critical debate. He then masterfully defused debates with comforting humor and foundational connections. His love of Filipino history, teaching and learning, action, and critical conversation, ground this scholarship in student voice, activism, and academic pursuits. This scholarship will support students aspiring for higher education at WWU with a preference for Filipino students transferring from a community college and fighting for educational equity like Jose always did, awarded through the Whatcom Community Foundation. Thank you.

Help students find a home at KUGS. Your donation supports a new scholarship for KUGS volunteers and/or staff. raised so far! For decades, college radio has been served as a lifeline for students. In the cluttered hallways of impossibly small radio stations across the United States, young people have found deep cuts and developed lifelong friendships. Nowhere is this more true that KUGS-FM in Bellingham. Perched atop Western Washington University’s student union, KUGS has been a second home to thousands of students. At KUGS, people of all ages have taken on the responsibility of keeping the award-winning radio station on the air and free of FCC violations. Behind the board or searching the stacks of albums, we have learned new skills, developed a sense of self, and yes, discovered some truly exceptional new bands. And most of us did it as unpaid volunteers. Because we loved it. And because we wanted to learn more. KUGS alumni have gone on to do great things. They’re musicians, media professionals, lawyers, doctors, elected officials, and community leaders. And a lot of them credit their time at KUGS for helping make it happen. But with the cost of college ever on the rise, it’s getting harder and harder for students—particularly those who are first-generation students, from nontraditional backgrounds, or who are working their way through school—to make time to volunteer. This creates an equity gap—when school is too expensive, only kids with privilege are able to access spaces that require volunteering. We believe that is unacceptable. KUGS should be available to anyone who wants to find a home at the station. This is why we’re helping to create a scholarship fund. What will the scholarship fund? The money from this scholarship fund would go toward helping students who want to volunteer at KUGS or even take on a staff role, but might not be able to due to financial constraints. We believe that students should be able to have the experience of being part of something with so much history and so much potential. Statements from KUGS Scholarship Recipients "It's been difficult for me to come out of my shell in college, but having a community at KUGS has helped me feel more comfortable in a new place." "Your support inspires me to continue striving for excellence and contributing to the WWU community" "Working at KUGS helped me find a community of like minded creatives and I was able to make new friends quickly and build on my set of professional skills." "Your gift inspires me to keep working diligently in my creative pursuits and continue working on community building and passing on knowledge to future DJs at KUGS" "The past two years, because of my financial standing, I have had to work 25+ hour work weeks, in addition to my classes and extracurriculars. Because of this scholarship, I am able to dedicate more time to learning and exploring events and classes at Western." What is the goal? Back in 2019, this team was able to secure enough donations to creat the KUGS endowment. Endowments are great because they create a permanent, sustainable funding source for scholarships. At least four scholarships have been funded through this endowment already. Continued donations will help maintain the principal fund held by the WWU Foundation to be held in perpetuity. Interest income from that fund goes towards scholarship(s) for student volunteers and/or staff based on financial need. The larger the fund, the more scholarships we can provide! WWU endowment scholarships typically award scholarships of 4% of the fund each year. Interest earned above that amount is reinvested into the endowment to help it grow, minus a 1.5% gift assessment to help with administration of the fund. Our Team Our team consists of WWU alumni and former KUGS volunteers/staff. We are working with support from Jamie Hoover, the KUGS Program Manager. Our experience with KUGS at WWU has enriched our lives. Casey, Hanna, Sarah, and Kyler met as volunteers at KUGS over ten years ago.
