Founder's Day

Georgetown College kicked off the spring semester with a Founders’ Day Convocation on January 25th. This was Dr. Rosemary Allen’s first convocation as president, and she welcomed a former student, Scott Fitzpatrick, ‘87, to present the Founder’s Day address. Fitzpatrick, who is the vice president for advancement with the Blue Grass Community Foundation, recalled many notable figures from the College’s past, and his own time on campus.

Dr. Laura Hunt, Spanish professor and now associate provost, was presented with the Curry Award for Faculty Excellence by Provost Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise. The Curry Award is named in honor of the late Dr. Ralph Curry and his wife, the late Dr. Gwen Curry,’54, both of whom served as chairs of the English Department at the College, among other important positions, advocating for faculty and students alike.

Dr. Curtis Sandberg, vice president of student life and dean of students, inducted sophomore Riley Davis, ’24, from Bright, Ind., as the new Student Government Association’s president.
