A gift from Parents Council member Adrienne Livengood-Baker of Winston-Salem, N.C., will create the Adrienne A. Livengood-Baker and Greg Livengood Endowment for Faculty Summer Fellowships.
The fellowships will be awarded to a minimum of two faculty members each year to fund research and other scholarly activities during the summer. Supporting excellent ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ and faculty scholarship through additional professorships, sabbaticals and research stipends is one of the goals of the $100 million Ever Elon Campaign to build the endowment.
Livengood-Baker has been an active Parents Council member, hosting summer welcome events for new students and their parents in Winston-Salem. She also is a member of The Elon Society President’s Circle. Her son, Greg, is an Elon senior.
“My son has had a very powerful experience at Elon,” Livengood-Baker says. “He’s grown and benefited tremendously from the Elon experience. I’m also in school myself at Salem College and am a tremendous advocate for education. I see this fellowship program as benefitting the professor and the students.”
