In 2017, Ron Tarrson, ’72 (XP-31), managing partner and director of Santa Fe, New Mexico–based Santa Fe Aero Services, provided the funding to create the Tarrson Social Venture Fellowship.

Part of the Rustandy Center’s Edwardson Social Entrepreneurship Program, the fellowship receives matching funds from John Edwardson, ’72.
