Parker, Richard J. Endowment
The Richard J. Parker Endowment was established in 2010 by Richard J. Parker, class of 1939, to offer his support for The University of Akron. Parker was a member of the Lone Star fraternity and served as the fraternity's president, "Brother Pi," during his senior year. Dick also ran track for the University.
The Richard J. Parker Endowment recognizes Mr. Parker's commitment to The University of Akron and the value of the education he received. The annual endowment award will be divided equally between the College of Business Administration and the University's track and field/cross country program (or Department of Athletics should the track and field/cross country program cease to exist) for their unrestricted use.
