Professor Kenneth E. Jesse Endowment Fund
This scholarship was established by Kenneth and Sandra Jesse. Ken taught in the Physics Department [from 1967 -1994] and saw the department and the University grow in size and stature, with national and international recognition. He guided the experimental work of two students who earned master's degrees, coauthored, with physics professor Glen Greenseth, the department's lab manual, and wrote three study guides to accompany general physics textbooks and a two- volume, calculus-based text titled, "University Physics." The purpose of this fund is to support student research or other significant projects as guided by faculty. It may be used to obtain hardware items. His hope is that this endowment will help to continue the Physics Department and University's growth, especially in the area of student research projects.
