Tim Brockwell has a long history with 蜜桔直播. He started as a student worker,
became a full-time employee in 1997 and is now a technician in the college鈥檚 Office
of Information and Educational Technologies.
鈥溍劢壑辈� has made such a difference in my life, first as a student and then
as an employee for the past 25 years,鈥� Brockwell said. 鈥淚 want to give back just a
little of what I鈥檝e been given.鈥�
Brockwell has established the Tim Brockwell Endowed Scholarship within the Walters
State Foundation. He hopes the scholarship will give someone the same assistance he
needed when he enrolled in the computer and information science program.
The scholarship will prioritize students who are in danger of leaving college because
they can鈥檛 afford the cost. Brockwell found himself in that position during his first
semester at the college.
鈥淚t was hard to find the money to pay tuition and buy books,鈥� Brockwell said. 鈥淚 was
grateful to receive some financial aid that helped me get through that first semester.
The next semester, I qualified for a Pell Grant. That made the difference and allowed
me to continue and graduate.鈥�
Brockwell has already spent many years helping college students and faculty members
work through technical problems. He originally assisted with issues ranging from forgotten
passwords to laptops that would not maintain an electrical charge. Now, as a server
systems technician, he repairs larger issues that affect multiple people.
鈥淭im Brockwell has really dedicated his career to the students and faculty at Walters
State,鈥� Dr. Tony Miksa, president of the college, said. 鈥淚 am not surprised to learn
of this endowment. Tim is a great example of the individual contributions that, when
combined, create the family atmosphere that shapes so much of the college.鈥�
The Tim Brockwell Endowed Scholarship is open for additional contributions. For more
