The Michael J. Hendrickson Academic Support Fund in Recreation and
Leisure Studies
Michael Jeffrey Hendrickson was a student in the 2006-2007 Recreation and Leisure Studies undergraduate learning community and a friend to all he met. The UGA senior died suddenly on December 1st, 2007 of a severe bacterial infection. Michael’s loving spirit illuminated this program and he is sorely missed.
