Professor Receives Significant Grant
Dr. Beverly Brown Schulke, associate professor of criminal justice/sociology and chair of criminal justice Studies has been awarded a Maurice L. Mednick Memorial grant.
The Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC) has awarded Maurice L. Mednick Memorial grants totaling $30,000 to 15 professors at VFIC institutions, including Shenandoah University’s Dr. Beverly Brown Schulke, associate professor of criminal justice/sociology and chair of criminal justice Studies. The Maurice L. Mednick Memorial was created in 1967 in honor of a young Norfolk industrialist who died from accidental causes and whose family and business associates wished to perpetuate his name by establishing a memorial that would emphasize his and the donors’ strong interest in higher education. Administration of the Mednick Memorial Fund is vested in the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges to encourage the professional development of college teachers and improve their academic competence through fellowships for research and advanced study. Since 1975, approximately 515 research grants have been awarded to the colleges.
