Impact
Richard is acutely aware of the relentlessly rising cost of a university education. Richard attended undergraduate school as a first-generation college student, and he understands from his own experience the multiple challenges such students face. He and Alison hope their gifts to the Success Fund for programming such as tutoring and math skill development will encourage students who need additional help to succeed.
