Jeremy Wells, Cohort 14

For those of you interested in making a gift in memory of Tim here at Saint Mary's, here is my suggestion. As many of you know, Tim founded the Metanoia Group in 1989. Through Metanoia, Tim established an endowed scholarship for the MA in Philanthropy and Development Program. He has continually and faithfully supported and increased this scholarship over the years which goes to students in this program based on financial need. While the scholarship was labeled The Metanoia Scholarship since 1991, it was Tim's intention to change the name to The Tim Burchill Scholarship once he retired from teaching in the program. I think it is only fitting to make that name change now, so effective immediately, individuals will be able to make contributions to The Tim Burchill Scholarship should they choose to do so. If you would like to make a gift, you can do so from the Saint Mary's Website at www.smumn.edu/giving. Simply click on the "Make a Gift" link on the right side of the page and indicate that you would like your gift to go to The Tim Burchill Scholarship. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me any time. Tim was a great teacher, mentor, colleague, and friend to so many of us and he will be missed.
