Julie Harris Hinson, a member of WKU’s Board of Regents, has made a $60,000 commitment to establish two new funds to support student success initiatives within the Cynthia and George Nichols III Intercultural Student Engagement Center (ISEC) and Student Publications as part of the WKU Opportunity Fund.
Hinson has also made a pledge of $50,000 over five years to benefit more than 10 areas at WKU. Hinson’s gift will provide immediate support that can be used to address the most important needs of these programs and supplement several scholarship funds.
A third-generation WKU alumna, Hinson credits her time on the Hill for influencing her personally and professionally. She says she finds great gratification in supporting others and “paying it forward.”
