Dr. Lee mentioned during MAC's state of the division panel last summer that he would like for us to reclaim a leadership role in the scholarship selection process and funding. It was a humbling experience to hear MAC's history first-hand, as well as his aspirations for the division. I would like to see MAC make a more significant contribution to the scholarship fund, and to secure a matching contribution from AEJMC given his legacy and pivotal leadership for both. Consider this virtual discussion following the motion before it is put to a vote.
