A memorial that keeps growing.
mary lou hague ( bsba ’ ) loved life. Friends
remember her “happy dance,” how she shouted
“Woo-hooo” when the music got going.
Mary Lou also loved Carolina. She was in the Campus Y’s Little Buddy program. She served in student
government and was her sorority’s treasurer.

“Carolina was part of her identity and who she
was,” says Heather Fain Schaefer ’, Mary Lou’s
sorority sister.
Mary Lou took that love to New York City,
where — on Sept. , — she was working as a
financial analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. Her
office was on the th floor of the World Trade
Center’s south tower. She was among the many
who died in that day’s terrorist attacks.
Not long after, an anonymous donor gave ,
to create the Mary Lou Hague Memorial Scholarship Fund at Carolina — and created something positive out of something tragic. More than gifts
from almost donors have since raised the fund’s
total to nearly ,, providing almost ,
for the scholarship each year.
Those numbers attest to how small gifts can make
a big difference — and honor Mary Lou’s love for
Carolina and her friends’ love for her.
“The people touched by her life want to remember
her in a meaningful way,” says Schaefer, who still
joins many of Mary Lou’s other friends to raise
donations for the fund each year. “A scholarship
fund was the perfect answer.”

Because … I love Carolina.
The need-based scholarship goes to deserving
students at UNC, with preference to someone from
West Virginia, Mary Lou’s home state.
“Hopefully, that student is empowered by Mary
Lou’s legacy to make the most of their education like
she did — by excelling in their profession and caring
about the world around them,” Schaefer says.
