RESOLUTION IN
HONOR OF THE SERVICE OF
ROBERT S. MCCOY, JR.
FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE TO THE
WINTHROP UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION BOARD
WHEREAS, the Winthrop University Foundation Board and the Winthrop
University Board of Trustees do hereby commend and honor the
distinguished service of Robert S. McCoy, Jr. as long-serving member and
President of the Winthrop University Foundation Board; and
WHEREAS, since joining the Foundation Board in 1989 and assuming the
presidency in 1994, Robert S. McCoy, Jr. freely gave of his time and
talents to strengthen the essential operations of the Foundation,
working assiduously to create a significant endowment by leading efforts
to increase assets of less than $1,000,000 in 1989 to more than
$25,000,000 currently, thereby leaving the Foundation and Winthrop
University in a strong position that many could not foresee fifteen
years ago; and
WHEREAS he employed his trademark characteristics of planning, patience,
persistence and above all a positive spirit to promote educational
advancement at Winthrop University, always seeing possibility where
others saw obstacles and encouraging the Foundation Board and Board of
Trustees by his unshakeable belief in a solution to every challenge; and
WHEREAS, by contributing a major gift to establish the Robert S. McCoy,
Jr. Endowed Scholarship at Winthrop University, he sent a clear message
and set a powerful example that essentially launched our successful
capital campaign;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED that the
Winthrop University Foundation Board, the Winthrop University Board of
Trustees, and President DiGiorgio, on behalf of the members of both
boards, the students, faculty and staff at Winthrop University, and the
extended public higher education community, do gratefully praise the
tireless dedication, vigorous advocacy and steadfast determination that
Robert S. McCoy, Jr. has consistently demonstrated on Winthrops behalf,
and in commending him for outstanding meritorious service, do wish him
every success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
