The Giving Coast

MaryAnne Young, executive director of the New College Foundation, announced that more than $500,000 was raised during the “O’Shea Formula,” a virtual event on May 6 that celebrated New College of Florida President Donal O’Shea’s accomplishments. Dr. O’Shea is retiring in June after serving nine years. Young explains that, in honor of Dr. O’Shea, the Foundation has established the Donal B. O’Shea Scholarship Endowment. This endowment fund will afford five to 10 students annually the opportunity to access their dream of a New College education. “We are gratified by the outpouring of support to honor President O’Shea.”
