Richard Cording Endowed Scholarship

Dr. Richard Cording 40-year career with SHSU began in 1970 when he was recruited to initiate and develop the university’s philosophy department. Understanding the need to encourage leaders of tomorrow, Cording was one of the founders of the Freshman Leadership program at SHSU. Doing more than speaking of leadership, Cording stepped forward in 1979 to become acting dean, and from ’81 to ’94, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Cording had a great love serving as professor of philosophy, professor emeritus of philosophy, and as an adviser. He was often credited with rescuing students’ college careers when challenged, turning a rocky academic career around for a struggling student. This endowment was established by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at SHSU to commemorate the career of Professor Richard Cording.
