Dorothy Hudgins Scholarship

Dorothy Hudgins was a woman of action. She was the first woman elected to the Livermore Planning Commission (1961) and second woman to serve on the Chabot College Board of Trustees. In this role she was instrumental in establishing the “Valley Campus” which now is Las Positas College. Ms. Hudgins was active in the League of Women Voters and the Oakland Children’s Hospital. Throughout her life she managed the family ranch in Chico. She was the first woman to receive the San Francisco Coro Foundation scholarship. Her memorial scholarship for students in political science, government or economics came from her work with the Coro Foundation supporting city governments, labor organizations and businesses.
