Who was Evelyn Hodge?
Evelyn Hodge was a single parent who instilled in her 3 daughters the essential values of commitment, tenacity, hard work, and academic achievement. Mrs. Hodge was firm in her conviction and belief that education was truly the door of opportunity and success for all individuals. As a result of her encouragement, motivation and inspiration, her 3 daughters have amassed amongst themselves 10 academic degrees.
To honor her life and memory and to promote the principles and ideals that she espoused, her 3 daughters, Valerie Hodge (Vice President for Student Development at East Stroudsburg University, Linda Hodge (corporate Counsel for AMGEN Corporation), and Dr. Donna Hodge (Professor of Psychology at East Stroudsburg University) have established this scholarship award.
