Betas Design Endowment to Honor Tigner
Rob Tigner, current Beta Theta Pi adviser and chair and associate professor of psychology, recently was honored during a Beta Alumni Banquet.
In his honor, an endowment fund has been created to support members of the Truman Zeta-Xi Chapter so can participate in leadership conventions.
Truman Betas are able to attend these programs currently through the generosity of almuni of other chapters.
Tigner has supported Beta leadership opportunities by encouraging members to attend various leadership events each year. Tigner also spends two weeks each year volunteering as a facilitator at Beta’s leadership programs.
The Dr. Rob Tigner Leadership Fund has been created through the Beta Theta Pi Foundation with initial donations from Truman alumni of more than $20,000. The money will support Truman Betas when they travel to leadership opportunities. More than 120 Truman Betas already have participated in these programs throughout the last decade, and this fund will ensure that future Truman Betas get the same opportunity.
Organizers hope to raise $50,000 for the endowment fund by April 2013.
Those interested in contributing to the fund can donate online at http://www.betathetapi.org/gift. Please specify that you would like your gift directed to the “Dr. Robert Tigner Leadership Fund.” For more information about the fund, contact Marc Tower at 816.665.3928 or marctower@hotmail.com.
Tigner also was recently recognized with the E. M. Violette Outstanding Advisor Award for his work with the men of Beta Theta Pi.
