Students studying engineering or natural resource sciences, or who are leading student organizations, can apply for a new scholarship established in memory of Susan L. Butts, a dedicated employee in Washington State University’s Office of Student Involvement who died last year.
Butts began her career at WSU in 1998, working in WSU Extension for the 4-H Program. During the last 10 years of her service, she worked as the budget and finance manager in Student Involvement and was revered by students and staff for her professionalism and caring nature.
Her parents, Larry and Patricia, and her sister, Sally, created the Butts Family Endowed Scholarship as a tribute to her career and love of working with students. She is also survived by her brother, John, and her daughter, Rahel.
