Vice Admiral (Ret.) James W. Houck, director of the Center for Security Research and Education and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Penn State Law and the School of International Affairs, gives closing remarks at CSRE's spring 2019 symposium.
Nese's husband Richard, John Trach of the Boyd Foundation, and Nese's son Patrick all got the opportunity to meet with students who have received the Mindy Sue Nese Memorial Scholarship, and hear how it has impacted their Penn State Harrisburg studies.
John Trach, of the Alexander and Jane Stark Boyd Foundation, discussed the philanthropic mission of the Boyds to improve the quality of life in Dauphin County. One part of this mission is to provide educational opportunities to students in the county.
Nese's son Patrick, a 2007 graduate of Penn State, listened to the stories of student who had benefited from the Mindy Sue Nese Memorial Scholarship, which he called "a fitting memorial to her strong work ethic and support of her children."
Nese's husband Richard, a 1979 graduate of Penn State Harrisburg, talks about how proud Nese would have been to see students benefit from the scholarship. “[Mindy] was always looking for ways to help the kids and their friends,” he said.
