Lorraine Fontana was a graduate of the College of Business and Public Administration with a major in MIS. Lorraine became a member of the Alumni Association board shortly after receiving her degree from GSU. Despite being involved in several other volunteer activities, Lorraine was deeply dedicated to GSU and the Alumni Association and was a very active and integral part of the board all throughout her tenure. This scholarship was established in 2009 after Lorraine’s death by husband, Anthony Fontana, who was also a faculty member at GSU until his retirement in 2011.
