Purpose: Gina Tenney was one of Youngstown State University’s best and most dedicated students. Before her tragic death in 1985, Gina had been actively involved in campus life and had achieved an excellent academic standing. She was a member of our Student Government Association, serving as Vice-President of Student Council and was a student assistant in the Students Serving Students program. In addition, she served as a costumer and assistant director during the University Theater’s 1985 season. To honor Gina’s memory, the Gina Tenney Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in January/1986 by the members of S.G.A.
