The Bruce Kauffman Award:  In honor of the memory of Bruce Kauffman, a graduate who was a scholar, musician, and financier, Mark Johnston, a generous benefactor and Bruce’s college roommate, established a memorial endowment fund for Manchester College students who choose to study abroad or in special programs in the U.S. during their undergraduate years.  The fund makes off-campus study possible for students who are not likely to be able to undertake such study because of financial constraints.
