Honoring Rick Beardsley, SMC ’84
On this special occasion, we invite you to join us in honoring our beloved friend, colleague and mentor, Rick Beardsley, SMC ’84, whose dedication to SMC students spanned over a quarter century.

We encourage you to make a tribute gift today to the Rick Beardsley Temple Update Award Fund. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 to make this fund into an endowment to support students in need for years to come.
