Giving
students
an edge
Barbara Chilakos '65 wanted
to give a gift in honor of
her late husband, Aristomen
"Art" Chilakos '64, a TCNJ
professor of health and
exercise science for 44 years.
"Art had an incredible passion
for the college, his subject
matter, and for his students,"
says Barbara.
"I am happy
his name
will live on
in this way."
When she learned there was
a need to help students build
their credentials to make
them more marketable, she
saw the cause as a perfect
tribute to Art. Her gift created
the Dr. Aristomen Chilakos
Kinesiology and Health
Sciences Student Certification
Fund. "He would love this,"
she says. "I am happy his
name will live on in this way."
