             Shawnee State University Associate Professor John J. Whitaker, Ph.D., has established a new scholarship for math students, the Ferguson-Hamilton-Knox Math Scholarship.
            The scholarship is in honor of retired Professor Orville Ferguson and Professor Virginia Hamilton for their dedication to students, service to the university, and positive influence on their colleagues.
            The fund also recognizes Cheryl Knox, a Shawnee State University alumna, whose record of excellence in the classroom and other contributions to the department serves as a positive model for student achievement. The scholarship will be awarded each year to a Shawnee State student who demonstrates scholarly success in a math field and contributes substantially to the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
