This fund was established by Sylvia M. Hutchinson in honor of Bob W. Jerrolds, who served on her doctoral committee as she pursued her Ph.D. Jerrolds was a member of the College of Education’s Reading Education faculty from 1967-1990 before going on to serve as dean of the Education Department at North Georgia University. Through this fund, Hutchinson honors Dr. Jerrolds’ lasting influence on her career and his contributions to the field of education.
