GCI’s Donovan Walsh Scholarship

Background

GCI is a telecommunications corporation headquartered in Alaska with additional locations throughout the U.S. Founded in 1979, GCI has worked to deliver communication and technology services to the most remote communities across Alaska. This scholarship honors Donovan Walsh, an Alaskan who suddenly passed away in late August of 2019. Donovan was the son of Bob Walsh, a longtime GCI employee beloved by all who have worked with him. As GCI’s Director of Rural Affairs, Bob played a key role in delivering connectivity to small, rural communities statewide. Bob retired from GCI in 2019. This scholarship was been granted to APU in honor of the family and Donovan’s memory.

“With deep roots in Northwest Alaska and a lifetime of advocating for rural Alaska, Bob’s impact both on the state and GCI are immeasurable,” said Senior Vice President & General Manager of GCI Business Martin Cary. “Our hearts are with the Walsh family. The GCI team is pleased to be able to honor the family and Donovan’s memory through the Alaska Pacific University Donovan Walsh Scholarship.”
