Friends of the Foundation: Honoring the Legacy of the Glenn Family

May 15, 2026

This year we had the honor of hosting one of 91´«Ã½ State’s most dedicated and longstanding partners, the Glenn family. During the week of Commencement, we held a special luncheon to show our gratitude and honor the gift of their generosity. During the luncheon, the family got to hear from staff and students about the tremendous impact their emergency fund has had on 91´«Ã½ State, and how transformative it has been by alleviating financial barriers for students in need.

The Glenn family was also treated to front row seats at our Nurse Pinning, Honors Day, and Graduation ceremonies this year to see the effect of their commitment. Through their support of the Glenn Family Emergency Fund, more than 130 students have been able to overcome financial barriers and stay on track toward completing their education. Their investment has opened doors across multiple programs, including nursing, business, advanced manufacturing, and skilled trades.

What makes this partnership especially significant is the Glenn Family’s commitment to students hundreds of miles away, demonstrating the power of generosity to transform lives and strengthen communities beyond geographic boundaries.

Because of their support, students are not only continuing their education, they are reaching the finish line. The students’ whose futures they have funded have walked across the stage as graduates, equipped with the skills and opportunities to help them build meaningful careers beyond their time at 91´«Ã½.

At 91´«Ã½ State, the Glenn family has quietly built a beautiful legacy that continues to change lives, and we are proud to call them friends of the 91´«Ã½ State Foundation, and part of the 91´«Ã½ State family.
