Excellence in Service to Hood College Award
 | Sue Whaley |
Sue Whaley came to Hood College in 1970 on a Senatorial Scholarship as the first person in her family to attend college. Graduating with a B.A. in History, Sue then earned her J.D. from UMD Law School and was admitted to the Bar in 1978. In law school, Sue worked for a title company abstracting titles, a job that combined her love of both history and law, which lead her to a career in real estate.
Following a significant sale, Sue endowed a scholarship to honor her former Hood roommate. In 2012 Sue joined the Board of Trustees and was instrumental in the searches for both President Chapdelaine and Provost Ricker. As co-chair of the Forging the Future: The Campaign for Hood College committee, Sue was instrumental in helping the Campaign exceed its goal of $50M.
Sue has lived in Gettysburg since 1995 and loves traveling, visiting NYC for the museums, Broadway shows, and opera at the Met. She still enjoys playing bridge, which she learned in the “Smoker” in Memorial Hall.
