In December 2007, ELP launched its first “telethon” to raise money for a student scholarship fund. ELP had many wonderful helpers: Lillian Utsumi, June Kizu, Nam Hau Doan, Anna Marie Francois, Gabby Bibian, Cecilia Duenas, Ginger Cole, Mary Reid, Joanne Culverhouse, Gary T. Scott, Lois Scott, Diane Durkin, Ernesto Guerrero, Linda Rose and Patricia McDonough. We are happy to report that ELP alumni and faculty contributed almost $10,000. All alumni cohorts (one through twelve) contributed to the scholarship fund. The cohorts with the largest number of members who made donations are cohorts 11, 1, and 7.

Many alumni and faculty contributed to the establishment of a Scholarship Leadership Circle ($250 or more).
