in honor of former Ottawa Dental Laboratory employee Roger Hustis.

The one thousand dollars annual scholarship will assist an IVCC

student studying technology. Houstas worked at Ottawa Dental Laboratory for
0:37
forty years. He managed the laboratory's implant department and retired

in twenty nineteen. Houstas passed away in twenty twenty two.

The scholarship was created by Mary Elizabeth Hancock. Hancock said

Houstas quickly recognized the value of computers and technology not
0:54
only in his field, but across all work environments, and
0:57
encouraged her son to learn about computer science and cidbercurity.

Since graduating from IVCC, my son Tony, continues to pursue
1:05
a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity and has obtained certification from
1:09
industry respected organizations such as Kamptia Cisco and the Linux Foundation.

Being able to give something back to IVCC is really
1:17
a blessing for my son and me, and we feel
1:19
lucky to be a small part in helping with continuing education,
