HESC alumnae pledge scholarship endowments

Two School Human Environmental Sciences alumnae are providing gifts to endow Bumpers College scholarship funds.

Cordia Harrington has pledged $60,000 to create the Cordia Harrington “The Bun Lady” International Experience Endowed Scholarship for students participating in a Bumpers College Global Studies program.

Harrington is founder and CEO of Tennessee Bun Company, Bun Lady Transport and Cold Storage of Nashville. After graduating as a Foods and Nutrition major, she started a real estate business in Russellville, then purchased three McDonald’s restaurants in Illinois. As an active member of the McDonald’s “bun committee,” she became known as “The Bun Lady,” and in 1996 founded a unique bakery business that now supplies buns to McDonalds and several other national restaurant chains.

Harrington said an undergraduate study-abroad experience in Japan had a major impact on her, and she wants to help provide similar experiences for future students.

Eddie and Betty Bradford of Fayetteville have provided a testamentary commitment of $50,000 to endow the Betty and Eddie Bradford Scholarship with preference for a student enrolled in Human Environmental Sciences.

Betty, who has a bachelor’s degree in home economics and a master’s in communication, is a member of the DBCAFLS Board of Directors and a former member of the AAA Board.

Eddie, who has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education, was an All Conference player on the “25 Little Pigs” football team that won a conference championship in 1954. He served as a medical services administrator in the U.S. Army and retired with the rank of colonel. He retired again in 2000 as CEO of Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institution (NARTI) in Springdale. He is a member of the AAA Board of Directors and was president for 2002-04.
