The Stewart K. McCroskey Memorial fund was established in 1993 by the McCroskey family to

honor and foster the memory of Stewart K. McCroskey. Stewart, who was a graduate student in

Geography at the time of his illness and death, was especially interested in the people of the

Caribbean and their relationships to their environment. His research examined water

management strategies on the dry island of Antigua, but he was sincerely interested in a wide

range of geographic questions and environments. Ongoing contributions continue to strengthen

the Stewart K. McCroskey memorial Fund. The Fund is, in part, an endowment managed to

produce income over the long-term and, in part, intended to be dispensed in the short-term, while

Stewart’s presence in the department remains fresh in the memory of those who knew him.
