In December 2021 Farmingdale State College announced that Dr. Charles Adair, Dean for the School of Arts & Sciences has generously donated $100,000 to establish the Violet Loy Adair Endowed Scholarship Fund in his late wife's memory.  Dr. Adair has been an integral member of the FSC community for more than 46 years and wanted to leave a lasting legacy for students whom like his wife Violet, are paving the way to pursue new academic journeys for themselves and their families as first-generation college students.
