Beta Theta Pi wise unto life is belonging to a friend

Leo and Caroline Funk of Columbia, Mo., recently made a gift of $50,000 in part to establish a scholarship in honor of their grandson Andrew Crosset, Truman State '05. From Truman Today:

The John Andrew Crossett Scholarship was established in honor of their grandson John Andrew (Andy) Crossett. Andy graduated summa cum laude from Truman in May of 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science. He credits the academic rigors of the political science major at Truman as having successfully prepared him for his pursuit of a law degree. In addition to his academics, Andy was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, Beta Theta Pi, Pi Sigma Alpha and the men’s golf team. The fund will provide scholarship support for political science students of high moral character with preference being given to members of the Greek community.
