Alumnus Chooses WCS for Charitable Gift
(June 2008) Westbury Christian School alumni Ugo Ihekweazu (WCS Class '03) was one of a handful of Cornell graduates who received the Cornell Tradition Senior Recognition Award for their commitment to the Cornell Tradition of work, service, and scholarship. As part of that award, each recipient had the opportunity to designate a $500 charitable contribution to the non-profit or public service organization of their choice. WCS alumni Ugo Ihekweazu chose Westbury Christian School as the recipient for his $500 charitable gift.
According to Ugo Ihekweazu, “Whenever I have the opportunity to help, WCS will always be at the top of my list. WCS is an instrumental part of the southwest Houston community – not just for the education they provide, but for the Christian values they bring to the community.”
According to Cornell University, Ugo Ihekweazu was one of nine senior Tradition fellows selected to receive this prestigious award in the 2007-2008 academic year. The award does not bring financial remuneration to the individual; instead, each recipient has the opportunity to establish a one-year Cornell Tradition fellowship in his or her name and identify a charitable organization to receive the charitable contribution. The Office of the Cornell Tradition stated, “We are especially proud of these outstanding recipients. In addition to exemplifying the ideals of The Cornell Tradition, each of these students have made a unique and lasting contribution to the quality of life on campus and in the community.”
