A gift from Parents Council member Adrienne Livengood-Baker of Winston-Salem, N.C., will create the Adrienne A. Livengood-Baker and Greg Livengood Endowment for Faculty Summer Fellowships.
The fellowships will be awarded to a minimum of two faculty members each year to fund research and other scholarly activities during the summer. Supporting excellent teaching and faculty scholarship through additional professorships, sabbaticals and research stipends is one of the goals of the $100 million Ever ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Campaign to build the endowment.
Livengood-Baker has been an active Parents Council member, hosting summer welcome events for new students and their parents in Winston-Salem. She also is a member of The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Society President’s Circle. Her son, Greg, is an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ senior.
“My son has had a very powerful experience at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ,” Livengood-Baker says. “He’s grown and benefited tremendously from the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ experience. I’m also in school myself at Salem College and am a tremendous advocate for education. I see this fellowship program as benefitting the professor and the students.”
