Being a 1966 Idaho State University College of Education alumnus, Rita Haggardt always wanted to stay involved with her alma mater and make a difference in students’ lives. As a way to honor her late husband, Terry L. Haggardt, Rita established an endowment in 2017 in his name and did so on her retired teacher’s salary. Five years later, the Terry L. and Rita Haggardt Scholarship Endowment officially reached $20,000.
