STLCC-Meramec’s Student Governance Council (SGC) has formed a committee to create a memorial for Mary Davis, a former student who died last November.
Davis was the gallery attendant, involved in the SGC, the international club, the photo club and the Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students club (Bacchus).
Furthermore, the art department has created a Mary Davis scholarship. They are accepting donations in her honor.
“In Honor of Mary Davis” Committee Chair Abdul Kariem-Matteuzzi said the group is “bouncing different ideas around.” He said there have been a couple of suggestions including planting trees or building a bench in her honor.
“She was a student for many years,” Kariem-Matteuzzi said. “She was very involved, cared about the image and voice of the students.”
Kariem-Matteuzzi said the committee plans to incorporate other organizations’ ideas into the project.
Kariem-Matteuzzi said the committee will use available SGC funds to pay for the project
Davis was a student at STLCC-Meramec for 25 years and received over 100 credit hours.
“It seems like everybody likes the idea of doing a bench but if anybody has any suggestions, they can contact me,” Kariem-Matteuzzi said.
