Trine University received more than $22,000 in grants from the Steuben County Community
Foundation at the foundation’s annual meeting Aug. 9 in Club Z inside the MTI Center.
Steven Nicolet, director of annual giving, accepted checks totaling $22,341 from funds designated to Trine and managed by the foundation from Jennifer Danic, president and CEO of the foundation. Some of the funds are designated for student scholarships, while others will support the Trine Fund.
The foundation awarded more than $300,000 to more than 50 local nonprofits at the event.
Having graduated from Trine University, Fr. Bryan Paulsen, S.J., Ph.D., hoped to have a current Trine student work as part of his Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) team this summer at the University of Notre Dame.
Welcoming employees to a new school year for the first time as president, Tony Kline, Ph.D., praised them for helping make Trine University one of the region’s premier institutions.
When their son Parker received his diploma from Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., at this year’s May Commencement, it was a full-circle moment for Stephen and Brooke Pelletier.
