Bethune-Cookman University Alumna Establishes New Endowment Fund
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on September 18, 2024 An alumna of Bethune-Cookman University recently returned and established a new endowment fund to help provide financial assistance to the next generation of Wildcat scholars. After graduating from B-CU in 1989, Avis Lewis went to work at Disney. She is now the Vice President of HR for Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney International and is the Executive Champion of Disney on the Yard, an initiative created in 2020 to deepen engagement with HBCUs – like her alma mater – through mentorship, networking and exclusive programming. On Saturday, September 7, Lewis presented university administrators with a personal donation, creating the Avis Lewis Endowment Fund.
