The Roy and Barbara Saigo Endowment for Faculty, Librarian, and Staff Excellence

Westfield State University has received a gift from outgoing Interim President Roy H. Saigo, Ph.D., and wife Barbara Saigo, Ph.D., to endow a scholarship to assist employees in their professional development.

“During our time at Westfield State we have witnessed the hundreds of faculty and staff dedicated to student success,” said Saigo. “In recognition of this work and commitment, Barbara and I were inspired to establish this scholarship to assist these talented individuals in their professional journeys.”

Created through the Westfield State Foundation, the Roy and Barbara Saigo Endowment for Faculty, Librarian, and Staff Excellence aims to encourage and assist University employees in their pursuit of scholarly and creative activities, including professional presentations, performances, exhibitions, research, innovative endeavors, and publications.
