Culp, David T. Endowed Fund

Mr. Culp was chairman of ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Major Events Committee (part of the University’s all-campus program board in the ‘70s) during his time on campus as an undergraduate student. He recalls with pride how he and his staff of fellow student volunteers presented major contemporary concert artists and, on many occasions, filled both Memorial Hall and E.J. Thomas Hall with 3,000 to 4,000 mostly commuter students. After earning his degree, he began his professional career as a social worker and supervisor with The Stark County Department of Job and Family Services. After retiring in 2006, he remained active, working part time at The Mustard Seed Market and Café and Akron’s Community AIDS Network.

An avid runner and hiker, one of Mr. Culp’s regular routes is from his home in Highland Square eastward through the campus of ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ. He has watched his alma mater transform itself into a beautiful green metropolitan campus. This transformation has been a source of great satisfaction and inspiration for Mr. Culp. With that in mind, he established The David T. Culp Endowed Fund to be used at the discretion of the vice president for capital planning at ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ. Annual income from the endowment is to be used for the area of greatest need as related to campus enhancement and beautification and to help sharpen its distinction from its non-campus surroundings.
