Charles Reed Jr. ’11 said scholarships, including the Class of 1942 James Harvey Dodd Scholarship and the Citizenship Award for Diversity Leadership, enabled him to be active in the campus community while pursuing his major in business administration. He offered his appreciation to alumni, parents, and friends during UMW’s annual Scholarship Donor Appreciation Luncheon at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center.
Despite devotion to his studies and his enthusiastic participation in numerous committee and student leadership activities, he nearly missed his own graduation. He was riding the PBS “American Experience” bus from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans. President Hurley led a special ceremony for Charles when the bus stopped at Mary Washington the following day.
