THE BACKBONE OF <strong>UMUC</strong>’S FINANCIAL SUPPORT<br />

Lieutenant Colonel Wallace H. (“Wally”) Currey ’61 (U.S. Army, Ret.) may not be able to match<br />

<strong>the</strong> generosity of <strong>UMUC</strong>’s largest donors and corporate sponsors, but he is still among <strong>the</strong> university’s<br />

most valued supporters—one of hundreds who make regular, if modest, contributions,<br />

helping to establish a secure base from which <strong>the</strong> university can pursue its mission.<br />

Currey graduated from <strong>UMUC</strong> more than 40 years ago, after attending classes in Berlin, Germany,<br />

where he was stationed and serving as <strong>the</strong> Army finance officer.<br />

“I had a very positive experience,” Currey said. “Our education officer designed a curriculum<br />

especially for me. Most of <strong>the</strong> classes were conducted by <strong>UMUC</strong>, but two courses—one in economics and one in military<br />

history—weren’t offered. <strong>UMUC</strong> worked with our education officer to contact qualified, accredited instructors in <strong>the</strong> Berlin<br />

area who could help me. So I ended up taking a tutorial course from <strong>the</strong> wife of an Army colonel and ano<strong>the</strong>r from a lieutenant<br />

colonel who was our intelligence officer.”<br />

Currey was grateful for <strong>the</strong> opportunity and flexibility that <strong>UMUC</strong> offered, and when his wife passed away and he was thinking<br />

of establishing a memorial in her honor, he immediately thought of <strong>UMUC</strong>. In 1998, Currey began contributing to <strong>the</strong><br />

Patricia I. Currey Scholarship Fund, which will provide aid to students pursuing careers in <strong>the</strong> mental health professions.<br />

He continues to contribute $100 each month.<br />

“It’s not a huge amount, but it keeps adding up. My intent,” he said simply, “is to continue [building it] for <strong>the</strong> rest of my life.”<br />
