Dr. Tom Gordon Memorial Scholarship Donation
Tom was a passionate educator who was committed to supporting students in developing cultural awareness in their teaching by providing international experiences. He was a social justice advocate that encouraged students to sponsor food drives in Pittsburgh and locally in Slippery Rock. Tom introduced diversity through visits to mosques, temples and international restaurants. He loved to travel and explore. He loved to tell jokes, the outdoors, and his family. Many students and alumni are grateful to him for instructing them on how to teach the diverse learner. The Dr. Thomas Gordon Memorial Scholarship has been created and will exist in perpetuity once we have reached the endowment level of $25,000. The scholarship will provide an opportunity for a student teacher to take their first steps into classroom teaching in Mexico. Please continue Tom’s tradition of considering others by contributing to this life-changing award.
