Alan Brunacini Memorial Scholarship

Alan Brunacini was the Fire Chief of the Phoenix Fire Department for 28 years from March 1978 until his retirement in 2006. "Bruno" as he was known by one and all not only changed the Phoenix Fire Department, he changed the Fire Service overall; he truly was the "Father of the Modern Day Fire Service." Most fire departments had changed little from World War I until the early 70s. Bruno had the idea that by providing a municipal resource geographically located throughout the community and staffed 24/7 you could become the foundation for safety and security in a customer-friendly way. Starting with Emergency Medical Service in 1972, through a higher level of training combined with greater technology, the Phoenix Fire Department brought many aspects of the hospital Emergency Room to your living room. Thus was the birth of Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics. Brunacini earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and a Master of Public Administration, both from Arizona State University. His family includes wife Rita, sons Nick and John, daughter Candi (all three retired fire officers) and seven grandchildren. Bruno had the touch of a common man, the mind of a PhD, and the compassion and empathy for his fellow man of a Gandhi. He made everyone he came into contact with just a little bit better. A gentle-hearted philosopher with a keen wit and kind disposition, his leadership creed was sincere, smart and simple: Prevent harm. Survive. Be nice.

Harley and Doris Roen Scholarship

With a deep commitment to supporting access to higher education and student success and an understanding of the difference that scholarships make in helping students complete their degrees, Duane and Maureen Roen established the Harley and Doris Roen Scholarship at ASU in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts, where they are faculty/staff members.

Growing up in rural Wisconsin in the 1920s-1930s, Harley and Doris Roen, Duane's parents, developed strong character traits of independence, stick-to-itiveness, resilience, as well as a concern for others in their community.

The grandson of Norwegian immigrants, Harley first learned English as a second language when he began elementary school. Although he chose to end his formal schooling after eighth grade to turn his focus to farming with his brothers, he has had a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of learning, and an appreciation for the payoff of an investment in education.

When a barn fire destroyed his livelihood mid-career, he took a job selling Ford cars and, before long, he and Doris bought the dealership, launching an entrepreneurial family business that changed the future course of the Roen family.

Doris, who endured hard times as a child and lost her father to cancer early in her 20s, displayed a lifelong empathy and concern for children facing difficult challenges. She devoted her career to working with children and adults with special needs.

Priority for this award is former foster youth enrolled in any academic degree program in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts and demonstrated academic stability by maintaining a GPA of at least 2.7.
