A scholarship has been established in memory of Dr. Ray Baumgardner, a former faculty member and dean-provost at Northwestern State University's Fort Polk campus and assistant to the vice president for academic affairs. His wife, Sherry Baumgardner, established the $10,000 scholarship through a donation and pledge to the NSU Foundation to endow the Dr. Ray Baumgardner Memorial Scholarship in Science. The scholarship will benefit students involved with the military. Other requirements include a 2.5 grade point average and a financial need.
A native of Colorado, Baumgardner came to Northwestern as an assistant professor of biology in 1965. He retired in 1996, having served as head of the Department of Biological Sciences, registrar, dean/provost of NSU's Fort Polk campus and assistant to the vice president for academic affairs. He was the second dean and provost for the NSU Education Center at Fort Polk after the university established the center in 1976. The NSU Fort Polk campus saw tremendous growth in enrollment during his service there. He returned to the Natchitoches campus to work from 1994 until his retirement. Baumgardner died in 1999.
"Northwestern was his life," said Mrs. Baumgardner of her husband's commitment to the university. "He also had a lot of respect for the military and he had attended college on the GI Bill."
"Dr. Baumgardner personified the great traits of our university. He cared so much about his students," said NSU Sports Information Director Doug Ireland, a good friend of Baumgardner. "He was an extraordinary teacher and a spellbinding lecturer. He made the most unsteady freshman feel valued. He challenged us to exceed expectations and to think outside the box, academically, in our campus involvement and in our lives away fro Northwestern. Thirty years later, my friends and I still talk about our conversations with him after our biology class and how passionate he was about us and about NSU."
