Joy Terry

The Joy Terry Scholarship was established in 1981 by Mrs. Joy Terry in honor of her parents, John and Ruby Walton. Mrs. Terry, a resident of Arlington, came to Tarleton in 1958 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Sciences until 1979 and received designation as Associate Professor Emeritus from The Texas A&M University System after her retirement. Mrs. Terry was named Distinguished Faculty by the Tarleton Alumni Association in 1991. She was a speaker at the 1992 Academic Awards Ceremony and served on the Tarleton Foundation Board of Directors. The scholarship is awarded to deserving students interested in chemistry.
