During their 53 years of marriage, UIS donors Howard and Lynda Humphrey visited every continent on earth, over 100 countries around the globe, and every state in the United States, often taking their children and grandchildren with them. Along the way, the family learned adaptability, respect for other cultures, appreciation for the variety and drama that the world offers, and so much more. Now through the Howard C. Humphrey Global Education Fund, created through a bequest to the University of Illinois Springfield, the family hopes to pass that learning on to UIS students. The Humphrey family hopes this fund will give UIS students the opportunity to broaden their horizons and to explore their true potential while traveling the world.
