AIMCAL continues support of SVC Foundation’s Dr. Bernard Henry Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Greenville, SC-based Assn. of International Metallizers, Coaters & Laminators (AIMCAL) will continue its traditional support of the Dr. Bernard Henry Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by the Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) Foundation. The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting shift of the AIMCAL R2R Conference USA 2020 to an interactive, virtual event last week forced the elimination of the popular, fundraising 5K Run, annually held at the in-person conference.

“The virtual event changed some of our activities – no Memorial 5K Run, no cornhole tournament fundraiser – but it will does not change AIMCAL’s commitment to the Bernard Henry Scholarship Fund,” explains AIMCAL Executive Director Chris Kerscher. “AIMCAL will use proceeds from R2R USA to make a donation to the fund and continue our history of giving back and investing in students.”
 
The 2020 scholarship winner was Henna Khosla, a Ph.D. candidate at Villanova University. Read more about her work here:
