Janet and Bill Dosch—Leave a Legacy of Love, Compassion, and Generosity

Janet and Bill Dosch have been serving and encouraging young people all their lives. Both graduated from Bellevue (KY) High School in 1952 prior to enrolling at Eastern Kentucky University, where they began dating and married. Both completed successful careers in education while raising two daughters who are also Eastern graduates and successful educators in their own right. The Dosches' love and compassion for young people did not end with retirement. By including EKU in their estate plan, the Dosches are members of EKU's Legacy Society. Their bequest will fund the Dosch Family Scholarship Endowment, ensuring that future generations of young people from Bellevue will have opportunities to fulfill the same kinds of hopes and dreams that EKU afforded Janet and Bill.

"I found my life at EKU, my husband, my family, my friends, everything," Janet says. "Eastern prepared us extremely well, not just from an academic perspective, but also socially. We were fortunate to have a caring faculty who understood students and their needs."

"Eastern has been a big part of our lives," says Bill, who has served as president of the EKU Alumni Association. "Our love for Eastern will continue as we share our memories together. Because of this, we wanted to give back to this special place that has given us so much."

Through their careful estate planning, the Dosches are embracing future EKU students—young people who sometimes need to know there are people who believe in them. Eastern is thankful for special people who see needs and give from their hearts. The Dosches' gift exemplifies love, compassion, and generosity.
