The Class of 1970 established the Robert E. R. Huntley Scholarship in 1995 as part of its 25th reunion celebration. It recognizes the outstanding academic and personal achievement worthy of a Washington and Lee Honor Scholar.
This year’s recipient is Alex Sender ’22, from Oradell, New Jersey. Sender is an engineering major with a minor in data science. He is also a member of Sigma Chi and is serving as a Mock Con State Delegate.
Sender wrote a letter to members of the Class of 1970, in which he expressed his appreciation for creating the scholarship:
“Every day I am reminded of how fortunate I am to be able to attend and flourish at such a unique and special school, and for this I am truly grateful. Thanks to your generosity, I am able to focus more on my studies and learning. I sincerely hope that after graduation I will also be in a position to help future W&L students achieve their goals.”
The Class of 1970 continues a beautiful legacy that is already inspiring future alumni to pay it forward.
