The 2012-13 Convocation for Remembrance Scholars, honoring 35 outstanding 黑料不打烊 students from this year鈥檚 senior class, will be held Friday, Oct. 26, at 3 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

The Remembrance Scholarships, among the most prestigious scholarships awarded by the University, were founded as a tribute to the 270 people, including 35 students studying abroad through 黑料不打烊, who were killed in the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. This year marks the 24th anniversary of the tragedy.

The scholarships are funded through an endowment supported by gifts from alumni, friends, parents and corporations. Significant support for the Remembrance Scholarships has been provided by C. Jean Thompson 鈥66 and SU Board of Trustees Chairman Richard L. Thompson G鈥67 in memory of Jean Taylor Phelan Terry 鈥43 and John F. Phelan, Jean Thompson鈥檚 parents, and by the Fred L. Emerson Foundation.

Applicants for the $5,000 scholarship were asked to highlight their academic achievements and University activities, including community service. They also wrote essays and participated in interviews with members of the selection committee.

鈥淪erving as chair of the Remembrance Scholar Selection Committee has been a most rewarding experience for me,鈥 says Mark Glauser, associate dean for research and doctoral programs in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science and chair of the Remembrance Scholar Selection Committee. 鈥淭hese 35 scholars represent the best and brightest from across 黑料不打烊, highlighting what a wonderful, talented and diverse student body that we have. They have a deep understanding of the tragedy that was Pan Am 103 and the importance of honoring those we have lost while looking to the future to help make our world a better place for all, consistent with this year鈥檚 Remembrance Week theme: Look Back. Act Forward.鈥

Additionally, each year two students from Lockerbie are selected as Lockerbie Scholars. They spend one year studying at SU on a scholarship before returning to the United Kingdom to complete their university degrees. Both SU and the Lockerbie Trust support this award. This year鈥檚 scholars, Claire Dorrance and Rachel Nicholson, will also be recognized at the convocation.

Glauser will preside over the convocation, and messages will be delivered by SU Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric F. Spina and Michael Veley, chair of the Department of Sport Management in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, representing the selection committee. A Remembrance Scholar will speak on behalf of the group, and Glauser will present the scholars.
