RPTA SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT ESTABLISHED IN ALUMNA JODI HAMP FISHER'S NAME
By: Dr. Bill Hendricks, Department Head
Family and friends of Cal Poly alumna Jodi Hamp Fisher have created a scholarship endowment in her memory. In honor of the 1997 Recreation, Parks, & Tourism Administration grad, who died in March after battling cancer, the scholarship will support the educational costs of students majoring in RPTA. Preference will be given to students with a career interest in the outdoors.
Fisher is known for giving out free ice cream in Cayucos on her 44th birthday, hugging President Obama at the airport in San Francisco, and appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show – all items on her "fun list" as she fought inoperable cancer. Those who want to join Fisher's family and friends in recognizing her inspirational legacy and contributions to others, are asked to add their support.
Charitable contributions can be made online here or sent to: Bill Hendricks, Ph.D., Recreation, Parks, & Tourism Administration Department, 1 Grand Ave., Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407. Please make checks payable to the "Cal Poly Foundation" and indicate "Jodi Hamp Fisher Scholarship Endowment" in the memo line.
For questions about the Jodi Hamp Fisher Scholarship Endowment, contact Rosey Parks, director of development for the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, at ext. 6-7367 or rparks@calpoly.edu.
