Recently, John and Patricia Atkins graciously made a gift to Johnson College to establish an endowed scholarship on behalf of their dear friend and local carpenter, F. David Mercanti. The Atkins, along with the Mercanti family, met with Dr. Ann L. Pipinski, President and CEO of Johnson College, to share stories about David and receive an up-close look at the Carpentry and Cabinetmaking Technology Program area. The F. David Mercanti Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student each year from the Carpentry and Cabinetmaking Technology Program.
