John R. and Carolyn Webb

Leadership Scholarship

2015-2016

The John Webb Leadership Scholarship was established as a tribute to Dr. John R. Webb, who served Emporia State University for twenty-seven years, from 1959-1986. Dr. Webb enjoyed a long and distinguished career as Vice President for Student Affairs. During his tenure at Emporia State University, he worked with hundreds of student leaders through the Associated Student Government. Upon his retirement in 1986, the Associated Student Government established the John R. and Carolyn Webb Leadership Scholarship in his honor.
