RTP Community Outreach
All proceeds from the Ed Galloway Charity Golf Classic benefit STEM focused programs in the RTP area and contribute to the NCSU SIM Ed Galloway Endowed Scholarship. The Society for Information Management (SIM) Ed Galloway Scholarship was created in 2008 by the RTP Chapter of the Society for Information Management (SIM) professional organization, and renamed in the memory of Ed Galloway who passed away unexpectedly in 2016. Galloway was instrumental in his efforts to bring community service into the chapter’s vision and mission. He believed that supporting the next generation of technologists would help not only the recipient, but ultimately help the chapter thrive. The NC State scholarship is awarded annually to a rising junior or senior and may be renewable if the recipient maintains satisfactory academic progress.
