Robert E. Vodicka, Director of Organizational Development at Stevenson Crane Service, Chicago, Ill., has been named the 14th recipient of the SC&R Foundation\u2019s Christopher Lorenz Memorial Scholarship. He plans to use the $3,000 in pursuit of his Master\u2019s of Business Administration degree at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, Chicago. He currently maintains a 3.3 GPA in the program, and is on schedule to graduate by fall 2012. After earning his Bachelor\u2019s degree at Illinois State University, Normal, Ill., in 2003, he worked for Grace Masonry, Downers Grove, Ill., before joining Stevenson in April 2010.<\/p>\n

\nSince 1998, the scholarship has paid tribute to the Vice President of Lift Systems, Moline, Ill., who died in 1995. His father, Gary Lorenz, was a founding partner of Riggers Manufacturing Company, Dixon, Ill., in 1980. Gary sold his interest in that company in 1983 to found Lift Systems, Moline, Ill. He was recognized with an SC&RA Golden Achievement Award in 1997. Gary and his wife, Mary Ellen, had been very active in SC&RA throughout their career, and became involved in the SC&R Foundation during its early development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Chris died, we knew we wanted to do something to memorialize him. We thought about setting up our own scholarship, but it\u2019s not easy to go it alone because you have to work out the details with a lawyer and an accountant,\u201d recalled Gary Lorenz. \u201cBy operating through the Foundation, we have gained the help of a lot of people who get things done\u2014even to the quiet, important work of selecting the recipient.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the funding contributed by the Lorenzes and Lift Systems, the scholarship benefited from the financial support of fellow SC&RA members. \u201cWe were very grateful that many of our friends and Chris\u2019s friends at SC&RA got involved,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wanted to make this large enough that it would make a difference for a long line of deserving students.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lorenzes also contributed to other memorial scholarships established after the one honoring their son. Although the Christopher Lorenz Memorial Scholarship was the only one of the Foundation\u2019s six scholarships and four grants to honor an individual this year, the SC&R Foundation recently approved a corporate named scholarship and grant program.<\/p>\n
