Cole Mabie, a Trine University junior from Plainwell, Michigan, was honored as the
2016 recipient of the General Lewis B. Hershey Scholarship during halftime of Saturday’s
football game against Alma.
The General Lewis B. Hershey Scholarship was established in 1988 by Army, Navy and Air Force veterans in the United States and Canada to honor Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, a Tri-State College (now Trine University) alumnus and former Director of Selective Service for the United States. Hershey Hall, the Trine University fieldhouse, is named in his honor.
The scholarship is awarded each year to a Trine University sophomore or junior who has demonstrated academic achievement, with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0, and leadership potential.
Mabie is the son of Alan and Christine Mabie and a graduate of Delton-Kellogg High School in Delton, Michigan. He is majoring in mathematics and is a member of the soccer team, honors program, Kappa Sigma fraternity and Ketner Fellows. He also serves as president of Trine’s math club and has been named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll.
Trine University presented special Presidential Awards for Excellence in Performance to two longtime staff members during the Board of Trustees luncheon on May 2.
A Trine University alumna is preparing to compete in her sixth Miss Indiana pageant, with the hope of further supporting her efforts against bullying.
With its namesakes in attendance, Trine University broke ground on what university President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., hailed as “a launching pad for innovation, creativity and collaboration.”
