Rozanne Garrett Epps

Former member of the VCU Board of Visitors
November 2008

We join with family and friends in the loss of Rozanne Garrett Epps — a former member of the VCU Board of Visitors. Epps, an appointee of Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, served two terms on the Board of Visitors beginning in 1986.

She began her tenure at the university in 1965 when she joined the staff of the Evening College and Summer School at Richmond Professional Institute — now VCU. She served as assistant director, associate director and assistant dean before becoming director of Evening, Summer and Off-Campus Studies in 1980.

Epps founded and for many years taught in the university’s Focus on Career Choice programs, originally Focus on Choice for Women, which has served as a bridge for many students — especially women — returning to the work force.

Her legacy continues through the Rozanne Epps Scholarship Fund — awarded annually by the Office of the Dean in the College of Humanities and Sciences. Memorial contributions can be made at any time to the fund. For more information, contact Lois Badey at labadey@vcu.edu.
