Kilfoil Memorial Scholarship

Jack Kilfoil Memorial Scholarship in 历史, 2023-2024

The Jack Kilfoil Memorial Scholarship in 历史 was created by the family and friends of a pioneer member of the 历史 Department at 基督教社会联盟DH. Dr. Kilfoil came to Dominguez Hills in 1968 and devoted virtually his entire teaching and professional career to his students and the development of programs in his areas of interest and expertise. He was dedicated to excellence in undergraduate education and prepared his students for graduate work and careers in history. He was especially interested in the history of the American West, economic and business history, local and community history, 档案工作. His students were actively involved in re搜索; they published inventories of local government archives and participated in professional conferences.
