Background:
Edwin Flittie was head of the Sociology Department for 15 years. The Flittie Scholarship
Fund was established by Audie Blevins and Kathy Jensen after Flittie's death in 1987.
As a testament to the long-term influence of a teacher, students of Ed Flittie are
still contributing to this fund. We are proud to report that this fund has reached
endowment level. Consequently, the principal is protected and scholarships are now
funded solely through investment returns. Thus the fund will be available in perpetuity
for the purpose of awarding scholarships to our top students.
