Support Tonya’s legacy of leadership
With your help, we reached our initial goal! We will begin offering Annual Conference scholarships starting in 2025.
We welcome your continued support and donations. The larger the endowment, the more scholarships we can offer each year. Thanks for giving the gift of learning.
About Dr. Tonya Oaks Smith
Dr. Tonya Oaks Smith was a long-time member of the HighEdWeb community, and passed away in April 2023 after a brief illness. Over the years, Tonya served in a variety of Association leadership roles, including as Annual and Regional Conference chair, volunteer lead, Sponsorship Committee lead, presenter, and parliamentarian and member of the HighEdWeb Board of Directors.
In those roles, as well as throughout her career as a higher education communication leader, Tonya’s hallmark was a generous spirit and a fierce dedication to mentoring and supporting future leaders. Now, HighEdWeb is pleased to honor Tonya’s legacy with an endowment that will carry her vision far into the future.
