Mitte Scholar Jeremy Stowell assists at the Ohio Wheelchair Games

Fisher College’s Mitte Foundation scholarship recipients have embraced the intent behind their benefactors’ generosity, turning time that might otherwise have been allocated to part-time jobs into community service hours. Fisher was one of two top-ranked U.S. business schools chosen in 2000 as the first recipients of the Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Foundation scholarship funds outside of the foundation’s home state of Texas. Last year, the scholarship recipients formed the Mitte Scholars, a student organization, to coordinate their service and outreach activities. Working as a group and individually, they have pledged a total of 3,000 service hours per year. The Mitte Scholars chose the Ohio Wheelchair Games, sponsored by the Ohio Staters, as one of their major service projects this year. Jeremy StoweII, above, and others assisted at archery, wheelchair races, weightlifting, bowling, table tennis and other events.
