Gerald A. Elkins Award
The Gerald A. Elkins Internship Award was established through the SU Foundation, Inc., to honor Gerald Elkins, the late husband of SU Chief of Staff Amy Hasson. “I thought it was important to offer SU students an urban planning experience, while also honoring Gerald's legacy,” Hasson said. “What better place to do so than in Baltimore City Planning, one of the best planning departments in the country, and the place where we met and spent so many years working among smart, creative and visionary colleagues. Gerald would be so pleased and proud to know that we have introduced a student to the place and occupation he loved so well, just as Gerald's high school art teacher did so many years ago.”
This endowed internship award affords a Geography major who has demonstrated academic success and leadership skills the opportunity to explore a career in urban planning and mapping with the Baltimore City Planning Department. This award is made in honor of Gerald Elkins, a dedicated planning and mapping professional in the City’s Planning Department for more than 40 years. Make your gift today in memory of Gerald Elkins to impact an SU Geography student's life.
