Southern Illinois University Edwardsville University Housing has chosen Daniel Fullerton as the 2013-14 James R. Anderson Housing Scholarship recipient. The scholarship is given annually to an academically motivated student who has a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and has demonstrated civic leadership in community service and housing activities.
The Centralia native is studying chemistry with the intent of attending medical school to become an internal medicine physician. Fullerton has made an impact at SIUE as both a member of the Chemistry Club and a Golden Key Honors Society member.
“We had many qualified candidates,” said Michael Schultz, director of University Housing. “But, in the words of Mrs. Karen Anderson, she believed that Daniel embodies many of the strong leadership qualities and community service dedication that Jim believed in.”
The award was created in memory of Anderson, a former SIUE associate director of University Housing. Recipients are granted a $1,000/semester stipend.
“We are pleased to honor Jim in this fashion,” said Schultz. “He believed not only in the value of education in and out of the classroom, but also highly valued family, community involvement and service.”
