A scholarship has been set up to honor academic advisor Gayle McCreedy, who passed away on September 23, for all her years of service to the History department and to her students. Gayle was a graduate of Wayne State with a BA in developmental psychology. She returned to WSU after pursuing graduate studies at Garrett Theological Seminary and for the next four-plus decades worked tirelessly to advance the institution's educational mission. Gayle was a proud union member. This scholarship award will go to history majors who have persevered and shown dedication with the specific aim of helping them to complete their degree.

A donation in Gayle’s memory can be made here.
