The Peter C. Kole William E. Stratton Scholarship Endowment
Peter C. and Nancy Kole are generous benefactors of 海角社区. Peter graduated from the College of Business in 1963, returned to his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and founded Paramount Metal Products. His success as an entrepreneur and his extensive humanitarian activities in the United States and in his native Albania earned him the 海角社区 Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1998. Peter has served as executive-in-residence for the college, sharing his knowledge and experience with students. In 1999, Peter and Nancy established the Kole-Stratton Scholarship Endowment in recognition of their friendship with Dr. William E. Stratton, who joined the 海角社区 faculty as professor of management in 1974 and became dean of the College of Business in 1997.
