Young Alumni and Students to Climb Two Peaks in Support of Scholarships
As an encore to last June’s successful climb, another
Fellows Summit Challenge is in the works for this June and July,
when a team of young alumni and current students will climb two
peaks — Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier — to raise funds for
student scholarships.
“The climb is a bridge to membership in the
Society of Fellows,” says Phil Pletcher, climb leader and associate
director of grant writing and research at SPU. “It’s exciting to
work together as a team to reach the top, knowing that the effort
is for an excellent cause.”
Funded by a $2,000-per-climber donation,
the goal is to raise more than $25,000. Physical training and
lectures on the technical aspects of mountain climbing and navigation
will precede the trip. Due to limited space, those interested are
encouraged to register early. For more information, visit
