R. Douglas & Janice Luecke Irvine Scholarship in Sociology & Anthropology
The R. Douglas and Janice Luecke Irvine Scholarship in Sociology and Anthropology was established in 2016 by Doug and Janice Irvine to support students majoring in Sociology and Anthropology at Illinois State University. Janice and Doug met in the spring semester of their freshman year at Illinois State Normal University and married in the summer following their graduation from Illinois State University in 1967. Doug completed a comprehensive major in the Social Sciences and taught on the college level for several years, served in administration, and retired after serving as a college financial aid administrator for several Indiana schools. Janice majored in Education of the Blind and Visually Impaired and taught the Blind and Visually Impaired for the South Bend Community School Corporation for 26 years. Doug and Janice strongly believe in giving back to Illinois State and created the R. Douglas and Janice Luecke Irvine Scholarship to support students with financial need.
