Dr. Brent A. and Dr. Jeri Mullins Beggs and Ms. Pamela A. Jarvis

Shirley and Don Beggs, Brent and Jeri Mullins Beggs, and Pamela Beggs Jarvis established this scholarship as a result of family histories that have produced degrees for at least four generations. They are similar to many Illinois families who have benefitted from being educated at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Each of them shares a special fondness for this institution of higher learning that changes lives in positive ways.
