In conjunction with the 125th Endowed Funds Drive of The University of Findlay, the Dr. Kenneth J. Buchenroth Scholarship Endowment Fund was established by his friends and family.

Buchenroth began his full-time teaching career at Findlay College in 1970 as assistant professor of business administration. He taught accounting until he retired in 1992, after 22 years of much enjoyment in relating to and advising students and touching countless lives with his inspiration and friendship.

Buchenroth was recognized by the University in 1989 with the Founders Academic Excellence Award and in 1992 with an honorary doctor of accountancy degree.

This scholarship is awarded to students majoring in accounting with a 3.3 GPA or better.

The goal of the endowed fund drive is to create 125 new endowed funds for student scholarship, faculty development and program support. Thus far, 67 new funds totaling more than $4 million have been created.

A steering committee consisting of University alumni and friends has been organized to provide leadership during the drive. Members of the steering committee are:

• A.R. ’66 and Mary Ann Charnes, national co-chairs
• Dr. Robert Frampton, College of Health Professions
• Barbara Meyers ’63, College of Education
• Larry McDougle ’63, College of Sciences
• Tony Pitts ’85, Athletics
• Dallas Sterling, School of Pharmacy
• Jim ’63 and Karis Woodward, College of Liberal Arts
  
• Denny Zahler ’70, College of Business
