Liz is very proud of her family’s legacy. Her great-great-great grandfather Callender was Eureka College’s second president, while her great-great grandfather Johann was the president who helped to build Burgess Hall. More than sixty members of Liz’s family have attended Eureka College, spanning seven generations. Liz feels that her greatest contribution to the College has been her daughter, Jillian, who graduated in 2006. |
