Claire Moore
Scholarship Fund
Honors Dedicated
Leader of Students
Imagine someone who has dedicated her career to her
alma mater, striving to create a positive, meaningful
experience for thousands of students over decades.
And imagine that person leading with enthusiasm, and
helping to transform a two-year junior college into a four-
year university. How does a community honor someone
who has made such an impact? By following her example
and focusing on students—by creating a scholarship in
her name.
In 1982, Claire Moore ’67, returned to Villa Julie
College to serve as the Director of Student Activities.
Through her leadership and collaborative spirit, she
developed the residence life program, established an
athletics program, and helped to create the Wellness
Center. After serving as Vice President of Student Affairs
for more than 10 years, in 2016, Moore was selected to
serve as Stevenson’s Interim President upon the retirement
of President Kevin J. Manning. As Stevenson’s fifth
president, she continued her unwavering commitment to
our students’ success, growth, and well-being.
When Moore announced her intention to retire in
December 2017, the Senior Class Council decided to
honor her in the most fitting way they could imagine:
by creating an opportunity to help students. The Claire
Moore Scholarship Fund will provide tuition support to a
senior who has contributed to the Stevenson community.
Claire Moore ’67, ’03 is the person who made Stevenson
a home for so many students. Throughout her 35-year
career at Stevenson, she led the university with her heart
and kept her focus on its students.
Join the Class of 2018 by making a gift to
honor Claire Moore and be part of honoring
her legacy.
