Ceal Barry Education Scholarship

Alumna Joanne E. Arnold was professor emerita of Journalism and Mass Communication and retired from the faculty in 1995 after serving the campus for 23 years in various leadership roles. She was committed to public school education and established this scholarship in 1993 for students pursuing bilingual or special education. Arnold named this scholarship after her dear friend, Cecilia Barry, Senior Associate Athletic Director for internal operations at CU and former head coach of the CU women’s basketball team (1983-2005). Arnold described Barry as the quintessential teacher and believed she embodied her commitment to education. Eligible students must be pursuing a graduate degree in bilingual or special education.
