The University of Evansville gratefully announces a gift of $116,000 dedicated to student scholarships from the estate of Susan J. Partenheimer '73 M'80 M'87.

Susan Partenheimer, a proud UE alumna, double majored in education and psychology, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1977. Her passion for learning didn't stop there-she returned to UE to earn both a Master of Arts in Education in 1980 and a Master of Science in Counseling in 1987.

With a career devoted to teaching and counseling school-aged children, Susan left an indelible mark on countless lives. She spent 30 impactful years teaching within the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) and later brought her compassion and expertise to her role as a counselor at Huntingburg Elementary and Holland School. Susan's guiding principle, "treat others as you would like to be treated," continues to inspire.

Ms. Partenheimer's bequest gift will create lasting scholarship opportunities, ensuring that future generations of students can pursue their dreams at UE.
