The Peace Through Education Fund was established in 2005 by Barbara Zulick to honor her husband John M. Zulick following his 2004 death. A Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War, John Zulick attended Eastern on the GI Bill® and, after graduating in 1960, went on to receive a master’s degree from Eastern and his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. During a long career in education, Dr. Zulick taught at Eastern and later returned as acting dean of continuing education. The award is given to an Eastern student studying abroad. Preference is given to Education majors and students demonstrating unmet financial need.
