History 5k Raises Hundreds For Student Scholarship
May 7, 2026
On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ students, alumni, and faculty – plus a dog – ran and/or walked a scenic route around Red Hill, through Mountain View Cemetery, and around the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ quad in the second annual History Department Scholarship 5k fun run. At the end of the 5k race, trophies were handed out for first-place runner, first-place walker, and the 5k participant who "served" the best look. The dog, Maverick, did not receive a trophy but did receive praise for being a very good boy.
The event was organized by Dr. Meghan Woolley, assistant professor of history, to support and celebrate student success at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. At Tuesday’s race, hundreds of dollars were raised in donations from the 5k participants and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ community to support the Kevin Marsh Scholarship, which is granted annually to an Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student with a passion for history. The scholarship honors Dr. Kevin Marsh, who retired from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ in 2025 after many years of teaching, research, service, and running.
