Art and Dorothy Cooke Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in memory of Art and Dorothy Cooke by their daughters, Janet Jerico and Susan MrKich. Art and Dorothy both attended AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ in the 1930s, taking degrees in English. They then lived near AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ most of their lives, their children attended AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ and Dorothy became University Librarian. They continued close contact with AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ and were always concerned with education and environmental issues. Study and research in this field would have interested them deeply.
