Duckwall Scholarship Celebration


The Duckwall Scholarship Celebration is your opportunity to honor our past by helping to build our future. Proceeds from this event benefit the Julia M. Duckwall Scholarship Fund.

The Julia M. Duckwall Scholarship facilitates the professional growth and development of individuals who work in institutional research and related fields. Named in honor of late central AIR figure and board member, Julia Duckwall, the scholarship is awarded in the spirit of her tireless passion for advancing the field of institutional research. Each year, funds from the scholarship provide two members the opportunity to attend an AIR Institute.

Join AIR Presidents, past and present, on Monday, May 31, 2010 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. to celebrate the legacy of Julia M. Duckwall. The dinner will be hosted at P.J. Clarke’s, one of the Windy City’s most popular destinations. The restaurant is located one block north of the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.
