James B. Sedgwick Memorial Scholarship in Chemistry
This fund was established in 2007 by Jim and Trilby (Teters) Sedgwick, in memory of one of their children, J. Ben Sedgwick '81, M.S. '84. He was active in church and Boy Scouts, earning the Chevalier Degree, as had his brother and father. Ben earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Georgia Tech, awarded posthumously since he became ill and died before graduation ceremonies. Trilby '53 worked in human resources at Illinois State. Jim retired from New York Life Insurance Company and was the first full-time general manager for the student newspaper, the Vidette. Jim and Trilby's other children also graduated from Illinois State: Jeffry '94, Catherine '91 and '98, and Amy '93.
