On April 1st, 2009, as part of the Spring Forum festivities, President Davis, The Honorable Newt Gingrich and Chairman of the Board and alumnus General Terrence R. Dake were pleased to present five awards of recognition to friends of the College. Each recipient received a plaque in recognition of his or her generous support of patriotic education. Grover Arnett was one of the five lauded for his generous support of patriotic education for students at College of the Ozarks. When he graduated from a Kentucky work-study school years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Berger gave him the money to attend law school. When he attempted to repay the generosity he had been shown by the Bergers, they simply asked him to help someone else some day. He is doing just that as founder and trustee of the William O. and Easter Arnett Memorial Foundation, which he established in honor of his parents. The foundation has established scholarships at the College of the Ozarks and Big Sandy Community and Technical College. Grover serves as a member of the Board of Trustees at the College of the Ozarks.
