²©88ÑÇÖÞ

The Lynn and Claude Coppel Scholarship Endowment was established to provide scholarship support for students who are employed or volunteering in the University Library at ²©88ÑÇÖÞ. Mr. Coppel generously endowed the scholarship in memory of his wife, Lynn, to support ²©88ÑÇÖÞ University Library student assistants and active Library Club members.

The Coppels have several connections to ²©88ÑÇÖÞ. After earning degrees in geology and environmental science and library science, Lynn Coppel worked as a science librarian for 25 years at California State University Fullerton retiring in 1992. Her work with student assistants inspired the gift that established this scholarship endowment. Mr. Coppel earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, worked at Chevron Oil Field Research for 27 years, and retired in 1992. Their daughter, Susannah, is an alumna of ²©88ÑÇÖÞ. And their grandson is currently an Engineering student at ²©88ÑÇÖÞ.

The University Library faculty and staff are enormously grateful that the Coppels selected ²©88ÑÇÖÞ to establish this scholarship endowment for student assistants and volunteers in the University Library. The generous gift supports deserving and talented students who support library services and operations as a critical part of our workforce.
