Gaye and Larry Heck

Gaye 87C 90L and Larry Heck established the Gaye Nell and Larry Heck Scholarship in 2018. As parents of an Emory College graduate who majored in English and Creative Writing, and Gaye, as an alumna who majored in English, the Heck’s established an endowed scholarship for those students who have a passion for literature and/or creative writing. Gaye recalls that Emory successfully prepared her for graduate study in law, in which the skills of analytical thinking and effective communication are at a premium. Her degree in English from Emory helped her expand her intellectual and imaginative horizons, and provided her with a greater capacity for understanding herself and others.
