The Camille Gilbertson Moll Scholarship in Math & Science

We both were raised in humble environments as most people of our era with parents looking to have their children be more successful than themselves. Education was deemed as the mechanism to make good happen.

We feel so blessed with our success for great careers, family, and a rewarding life. We know that luck occurs with hard work, taking advantage of opportunities, and maximizing one’s given talents. Our college experiences helped so much for preparing us for the greater part of our life. We both believe that college is meant to provide the means to gain employment and the studying of math and sciences prepares one in so many ways.

Integration of sports and/or other activities with a strong educational effort is important as we feel it helps develop individuals. We both have enjoyed sports, had our daughters involved in many including high school and college teams, and we took part expanding the Lehigh Wrestling Club from 250 up to 1000 members which is fan based, but cares for the well-being of the team members on the mat and in the classroom. Camille is still serving on the Executive committee handling the databases and being social chair person. Dick is pursuing his love for investing which was a hobby his entire career and in assisting with the Lehigh 1961 Class activities serving on the 50th fund raising committee which turned into a five year project from graduation year 45 to 50!
