Following the completion of their three sons’ education at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Jeanne and Ken chose to continue to support students with their education with multiple student scholarships at Cal Poly, CSU Long Beach, and UC Irvine.

Jeanne and Ken are formally retired following 40 plus year careers with three young granddaughters, however, continue to actively support Cal Poly and CSU Long Beach in a variety of engagements where they share of their time, talent, and treasure.

The College of Education (CED) expresses gratitude to all scholarship donors who continue to enhance the quality of education students experience at CSULB.
