Joseph McDonald was a man with strong values and ethics. He worked as a human resource professional after retiring from the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). He had the highest regard for people and their abilities, which was demonstrated through his willingness to share his experience and knowledge with many people throughout his life, including his children, those in his community and church, in the bureau and in business. He had received honors from the FBI for recruiting the greatest number of men and women. This scholarship represents an on-going commitment on behalf of the Joseph McDonald family and the EIHRA to encourage students to build strong values and ethics as a foundation for success.
