New Geography Scholarship
Hilo alumnus and former faculty member Ron Terry established a $25,000 Geography Founders endowed scholarship. The scholarship honors department founders Jim and Sonia Juvik, Jim Kelly and the late Jack Healy.
Terry is currently the founder of Geometrician Associates, a business consulting firm that conducts environmental impact assessments. He joined the Hilo faculty in 1987 and taught until 1992.
“The geography department at UH Hilo gave me the basis for becoming a successful professional,” says Terry, What I am giving back is only a small proportion of the added value I received at UH Hilo.”
