Dear Ole Miss Family and Friends,
As educators, we want the best for our students. We want them to excel in and out of the classroom, and therefore we get invested in their overall wellbeing. I did not know Fenton as well as some students who were in my class, but by every indication Fenton was an excellent representation of the University of Mississippi and we were very proud of the man he was becoming. He was light-hearted and fun, but dedicated and hard working. He was a pleasure to be around and we were all looking forward to watching his future success unfold.
While this tragedy is difficult to accept, we can take comfort in knowing that Fenton’s memory will forever be linked to Ole Miss. We are grateful to Ole Miss Alumni, Olivia and Archie Manning, and Annette and John Schnatter of Papa John’s for establishing a scholarship in memory of Fenton that will benefit students of Accountancy and Business.
Please take a moment today to make a gift to the Fenton Kottkamp Memorial Scholarship. Your gift will help build Fenton’s legacy and will give other students, in the School of Business and the School of Accountancy, the opportunity to experience the joy that he found here. We are so close to our goal and I know that with your help we will get there. Also, please consider becoming an ambassador of the campaign by sharing this page via email and on social media. #LOVEFENTON
Thank you,
Ken Cyree
