The Brian Betzler Memorial Award is presented in memory of Brian Betzler by
his parents Helen and George Betzler, Jr., and grandfather George
Betzler, Sr., to recognize full-time third- or fourth-year undergraduates
in the Penn State School of Visual Arts who have exhibited exemplary
artistic achievement.
George Betzler, Sr. (grandfather). Francis (uncle, deceased),
and Brian's aunt Barbara started the Brian Betzler Memorial
Fund in 1992, the year of Brian's death.
Beginning in 1992, the first golf outings were run by Francis
in New Jersey. Since Francis's death in 1996, Dan Cugini,
assisted by Tom McAnally, has organized the golf
outing at the Jeffersonville Golf Club in Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. Dan and Tom are two of George's best friends.
The three went through school together.
Full-time junior and senior students enrolled in the Pennsylvania
State University School of Arts and Architecture School of Visual
Arts who exhibit exemplary artistic achievement are eligible
for the award each year. It is
the largest award available to students studying visual arts
and architecture at Penn State. Recipients have benefited from the award since it was established in 1996. The fund has steadily grown each year since its inception. Beginning in 2001, the University began giving the award to two students instead of one. In 2007, the number of recipients was increased to three. |
