Daemen College recently held a celebration to recognize the generosity of Trustee Robert Chur and his family and to celebrate this year’s recipients of the Robert and Carol Chur Scholarship, which provides support to students in health and human services majors.
“We are deeply grateful to Bob, Carol and the entire Chur family for their generosity in establishing this scholarship, which reflects their extraordinary commitment to Daemen and our students,” said Daemen President Gary Olson. “With this scholarship, our students are receiving vital financial assistance to pursue a first-rate education at Daemen.”
