BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Eight evening students attending Millard Fillmore College, the continuing-education and summer-sessions division at the University at Buffalo, have received the annual Kish Scholarship in recognition of academic performance.

The Sarah Helen Kish Memorial Fund was established in honor of Sarah Kish, the late wife of Nicholas Kish, former assistant dean of Millard Fillmore College. Nicholas Kish, who served as assistant dean from the mid 1950s to 1975, also was an adjunct faculty member in the UB School of Management and an advisor to the Student Association. He died in 1981.

The 1997 recipients, who were selected based on academic performance and the completion of at least 24 credit hours, and their areas of study are Barbara J. Ziemann of Getzville, health and human services; Julie Mazzu of West Seneca, management; Rosemary Tiebor of Sanborn, psychology; Kenneth R. Fenske of Lancaster, management; Teresa E. McInerney of Grand Island, management; Diane N. Kasprzak of Buffalo, psychology; Scott Barnes of Hamburg, mechanical engineering, and Jeffrey O. Williams of East Aurora, computer science.
