The Patricia L. Squire ’62 Endowed Licensureship for the School of Education was established in honor of the late Patricia Louise Squire, who passed away in January 2023. Pat was a devoted educator and passionate advocate for storytelling, education, and community service. Pat, a graduate of Beaver College (now Arcadia University) and a 33-year teacher in the Springfield Township, Montgomery County schools, deeply valued education and had a lifelong commitment to service. Her impact lives on through this licensureship, which will support students who are pursuing their licensure in various fields of education.

Continuing Pat’s legacy of helping others achieve their goals, the endowed fund provides invaluable assistance and critical financial support for our students as future professionals. The funds will help students complete the licensure process and advance their careers by providing financial assistance to offset the fees associated with pursuing their license to teach.

Financial support for this year’s awards was made possible by the Estate of Patricia L. Squire and donors, Elizabeth Jean Walker ’62, and William Westerfield, a former member of the University Board of Trustees, and his spouse, Ann Westerfield ’62 through Beaver College Foundation. Congratulations to this year’s recipients of The Patricia L. Squire ’62 Endowed Licensureship for School of Education.
