The term 'endow' is used a lot in the academic world.
People endow institutions, scholarships, professorships, and academic programs.
When I began my employment with Judson I did not possess a coherent understanding of the terms 'endow' or 'endowment'. In the short time I have been employed here I have had the opportunity to better understand these words and the extreme importance these words have. In this column I would like to share the information I have learned with you. It is my hope that all our alumnae will understand these terms . I hope our alumnae who are already familiar with these terms will forgive the elementary explanation this column provides.
