History
The Epsilon Chapter of the Evans Scholars was founded in 1955 directly off the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing.
Mr. Thomas Dutch served the Michigan State Evans Scholars as Faculty Advisor from 1955-2002. His long-time dedication and assistance to the MSU house was extremely valuable. In 2002, the house chapter room was renamed the "Thomas A. Dutch Room" in his honor.
This year represents the 20 year anniversary of our current Evans Scholars House and several renovations are currently taking place on each floor of the house. Since the chapter was founded, hundreds of deserving young men and women have benefited from the generosity of this scholarship. We continue to fulfill and strive in our four pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Group Living, House Maintenance as well as with our local community involvement. The Michigan State Evans Scholars would like to thank all donors for their continued support of the scholarship and for making this scholarship a reality.
Evans Scholars Creed
We, as Evans Scholars, strive for ideals of community leadership- achieved not necessarily through popularity, but through character.
We cherish the ability to set aside pleasurable activities until the necessary ones are accomplished.
We strive for group unity and loyalty through an interaction and appreciation of varied backgrounds and personalities.
We strive for public esteem based upon the demonstrated ability to achieve and maintain positions of respect in our community.
We represent an educational institution seeking to teach men and women to live and work with each other and to instill in them the ability to embrace individual differences and to respect individual freedoms.
Personal growth is our goal; group living is our means.
