Fredda Blanchard-Fields Memorial Fund
Fredda Blanchard-Fields, Chair of the School of Psychology, passed away on August 3, 2010. She will be greatly missed by the faculty, staff, and students in the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
One of Fredda's passions was students – she was a supportive mentor to students at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral. She was demanding but always encouraging – she expected a lot but also gave a lot. She considered her students to be a part of her extended family.
To honor her memory, we are developing an endowment that will support student scholarships. We and her family believe that this is an excellent way to honor her and something she would appreciate.
