This 5k walk/run aims to raise funds for the Elizabeth “Betty” Walton endowment so that more students can benefit from her memorial scholarship annually. Elizabeth “Betty” Walton had a profoundly inspirational and impactful career as an Intelligence Analyst. Her work ethic, intellect, persona, and dedication to protecting the nation were unparalleled. It is with great sadness that Betty lost her battle with cancer in 2018. In her memory, JMU Intelligence Analysis (IA) professor and husband of Betty, Dr. Tim Walton, established an annual scholarship. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to a highly motivated IA student from an underrepresented population within the IA program, following in Betty’s footsteps. You can learn more about the JMU Intelligence Analysis Program here: https://www.jmu.edu/cise/intelligence-analysis/index.shtml Rory McDermott- the 2024 scholarship recipient- has partnered with fellow IA Student Ambassadors and the Women in Intelligence and National Security Club
