Anthony "Tony" J. Latosky Memorial Scholarship

The Anthony "Tony" J. Latosky Memorial Scholarship pays tribute to an outstanding Richland College student and staff member. Tony's dedication to excellence in education and technology, as well as his dedication to Richland College and the DCCCD, allowed for his growth from networking student to fulltime Network Engineer.

He meticulously set up the computer classrooms for certified Novell and Microsoft courses and assisted the network administrators with the college servers. He also earned his Novell CNE and CNI certifications, and taught in the Richland networking program with unfailing patience and enthusiasm. He enjoyed helping people increase their knowledge and experience, and was always willing to lend a hand to assist them.

His legacy will continue, although his presence and "bear hugs" are missed by his colleagues, friends, and family. Their gifts were made in his memory to establish the Anthony “Tony” J. Latosky Memorial Scholarship, honoring Tony’s passion for computer networking technology and his devotion to teaching and learning. This scholarship will assist present and future students who want to study networking so that their dreams will be realized and they can soar to new heights in their knowledge and skills.
