"LSSU prepared me for my career in a variety of ways, by exposing me to a wide range of ideas and areas of focus within my field, by developing the independent thinking and curiosity that would be required to pursue graduate work, and by fostering the confidence that I could make it happen. LSSU really did put the foundation under my aspirations; in fact, it allowed me to develop these aspirations in the first place."

Georgia G. Gianakura Mathematics in Education Scholarship		(Top)
This endowment was established by Catherine Gianakura Rogg to honor her mother, Georgia. At the time of her high school graduation, Georgia was planning to attend Michigan State University to become a mathematics teacher. As she was preparing to move to Lansing, her father became ill. She made the choice to care for her father and attend to the needs of her family. Throughout the years of raising her own family, she often served as a teacher's aide in mathematics at area elementary schools in Sault Ste. Marie. This scholarship is to be granted annually to a student who is pursuing a degree in Education with a major in Mathematics.

Peter C. Gianakura Journalism Scholarship		(Top)
This endowment was established by Catherine Gianakura Rogg to honor her father, Peter. Longing for a career as a photojournalist, Peter was unable to pursue his education due to his commitment to his father's business, The American Café, and his family. Upon retirement from the restaurant business, Peter is very active in the LSSU Elders program and is fulfilling his intellectual curiosity and previous aspirations of a formal education through this lifelong learning program. The scholarship is to be granted annually to a student who is seeking a career in Journalism, with particular interest in being a reporter.
