JOHN L. HARPER SCHOLARSHIP

A special scholarship was established in 2001 to honor the memory of Dr. John L. Harper and his distinguished career for over 27 years at HSU as a physical geographer, scholar, active environmentalist and published author. Geography faculty choose an annual recipient. HSU geography majors whose prime interests are in physical geography or resource & environment, who have distinguished undergraduate records, and who are continuing students may apply for the award (details are in the department office). Applications are usually due the first Monday in April.

A plaque has been posted in Founders Hall 126 -- the Dr. John L. Harper Room -- where scholarship recipients will have their names engraved.

If you would like to honor Dr. Harper's memory and help fund the scholarship, please send a check to the Gift Processing Center, Cashier's Office - SBS 285, Humboldt State University, 1 Harpst St., Arcata, California 95521-8299. Make the check out to HSU and designate JOHN L HARPER SCHOLARSHIP in comments area of check. Be sure to include a return address so we can acknowledge your gift. On behalf of Dr. Harper's family, current geography majors, faculty and staff, thank you very much.
