Carol Clough Memorial Business Scholarship
Carol Clough was a beloved faculty member at Las Positas College for 27 years, contributing immensely to the development of the college and the success of its students. As one of the first faculty members hired after the campus opened, Dr. Clough played a crucial role in shaping the educational experience at Las Positas. Her commitment to teaching, combined with her extensive and diverse experience in the business world, allowed her to offer students not only academic knowledge but also valuable real-world insights. She believed in the potential of every student and made it her mission to provide them with the tools they needed to succeed, both in the classroom and in their future careers.
Throughout her career, Dr. Clough developed and taught numerous courses that are still part of the college’s curriculum today, including classes in business administration, entrepreneurship, and office technology. Her work contributed to the establishment of key business programs, such as Administrative Assistant and Business Entrepreneurship, that continue to serve students seeking careers in the business field. She was known for her passion for student success, always going above and beyond to ensure her students understood the material and felt supported in their academic journeys.
After her passing in 2004, Dr. Clough’s commitment to students and education lived on through her generous legacy gift to the Las Positas College Foundation. This gift established the Carol Clough Business Major Scholarship, providing financial support for students pursuing degrees in business. By creating this scholarship, Dr. Clough ensured that her impact on student success would continue for many years after her passing.
Her planned gift reflects not only her dedication to the growth and development of Las Positas College but also her desire to make a difference in the lives of future generations of students. Dr. Clough’s legacy remains a lasting testament to the profound impact one educator can have on a college, its programs, and its students. The Carol Clough Business Major Scholarship continues to support and inspire students, just as Dr. Clough did throughout her remarkable career.
