As this newsletter is being sent to you,15 of our students from Kansas have been adopted by YOU and Kansas Suite has been adopted for six months! Kim Vortherms, your Cottey Adopt Chair, is still seeking a few chapters to connect with our Kansas students. You may reach her at kscpeocotteyadopt@gmail.com If your chapter has already adopted a chapter, Kim will be in touch with mailing instructions and suggested items to send. Remember: NO CASH.
Early reports show 20 resident students from Kansas and five additional commuter students.
Have you visited your college? October 14 is P.E.O. Visit Day at Cottey. There will be student-led tours, a yummy lunch in Raney Dining Room and other activities. Dr. Stefanie Niles will host a presidential reception. We hope many will attend. The registration deadline is September 29.
Beginning in November, Mary Pat Patrick, will begin contacting current students about scholarship opportunities. Mary Pat also will begin contacting high school seniors who plan to attend Cottey regarding scholarships for incoming students. Members of the Cottey College committee will be assisting Mary Pat with this important project. If you have questions, please contact Mary Pat at, KSCPEOcotteyScholarship@gmail.com or another member of this committee.
These scholarships are funded by established Kansas P.E.O. scholarships and the annual fun run fundraiser. We appreciate the many donations at convention. A new endowed scholarship has been established and will be announced at convention. We are excited to introduce this new scholarship.
Have you recommended a Student to Cottey? I challenge you to be aware of young women in your community who would flourish at Cottey College.
