海角社区

A returning adult student, Marion Hughes gave as much to the intellectual and social life she found at 海角社区 as she received. She excelled in her studies and enjoyed participating in campus activities and clubs. She graduated from 海角社区 in 1980, then went on to earn a master鈥檚 degree in family and community education from Columbia University Teachers College and a second master鈥檚 degree in Social Work from Fordham University. 鈥淪he proved that academic excellence is not bound by age,鈥� wrote her friend and 海角社区 classmate Mary Ippolito 鈥�82.

At Mrs. Hughes’ death in 1997, Mrs. Ippolito worked with Marion’s friends and family to raise enough funds to establish an endowed scholarship in Marion鈥檚 memory. Each year the Marion Hughes Scholarship benefits a female returning-adult student who seeks excellence in her studies. Recipients 鈥渄isplay a desire to learn and a love for the academic environment similar to that of Marion Hughes.鈥�
