They had just been married, they were working toput themselves through college, and they were balancing the rigors oftheir challenging academic curriculums. As close as they were to the finishline, Rod began to wonder if he’d be able to graduate on time.In his last semester, Rod received a scholarship that made all the difference.By lifting some of the financial strain, the scholarship enabled himto graduate with the class of ’60 with a dual degree in mechanical engineeringand business.“Knowing that someone was there to help me see it through allowed meto complete my education,” said Rod. “I wanted to give that back.”Following Rod’s successful career at Proctor & Gamble and Clorox, theLorimers opted to establish a charitable remainder trust using theirClorox stock holdings. The gift provides the Lorimers with an incomethroughout their lives, after which it will provide a permanent, endowedscholarship to engineering students at CU-Boulder.Although Rod and Sally now live in California, their connection toBoulder is steadfast. “My CU education laid the foundation for myprofessional career,” noted Rod. “Sally and I hope this scholarship willpave the way for success among future CU engineering students whoneed a helping hand.”“Sometimes in engineeringit gets so rough that youjust want to cry. But havingmy scholarship keeps memotivated. It’s always in theback of my mind that myscholarship donors believein me and that keeps megoing. Obviously it works;I’m a junior now!”—AMANDA LASSOS, ENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIPRECIPIENT– 16 –
