Former TU SGA President Chad Gobel

Hoffman Room Dedication

The Marion Hoffman Room, which houses the assistant vice president for campus life, was dedicated on December 14. It recognizes the generous support of Chad Gobel, a 1993 graduate and former Student Government Association president who wanted to honor the impact the late Marion Hoffman had on his life. Hoffman served as TU’s first assistant dean for student development. Gobel’s gift has created the Marion B. Hoffman ’74 Ethical Leadership Endowment, which awards scholarships to students who demonstrate integrity in their decision-making as leaders and who have shown continual leadership and service to the university through student organizations, university committee participation, academic achievement and outstanding contributions to campus life. Gobel’s support not only honors Hoffman’s contributions to past student leaders, but it also encourages current and future student leaders to dedicate themselves to ethically serving the campus community. TU is grateful for Gobel’s support in developing and encouraging sound student leadership skills that position alumni to become responsible citizens and leaders in their communities.

Recipient, Jess Fisher, Class of 1934, College of Science and Mathematics Scholarship Endowment in Memory of Cecilia Fisher Rudman

“Without this scholarship, I do not think I would have built the intimate connections that I have with my peers and professors. My TU experiences have also instilled a boost of confidence, independence, and responsibility within me as I continue to mature as an individual. Without your generosity, I believe I would not be the same person I am today.”
