The H.B. McDaniel Foundation celebrates the life of esteemed Stanford Professor and honored Foundation Board Member, John D. Krumboltz, PhD. 

 

John's spirit and involvement will be missed by the H.B. McDaniel Foundation Board. In addition to his service to Stanford students, John served as a long time member of the H.B. McDaniel Foundation established to honor the legacy of Stanford Professor, and John's former colleague, H.B. McDaniel. John, along with is wife Betty, have been active and integral participants on the Foundation Board from the Board’s establishment in 1974 to the current day. He will be greatly missed for his willingness to speak his mind,  fantastic sense of humor, down-to-earth attitude and approachable demeanor.

 

This past year the Board was thrilled to award the initial John D. Krumboltz Career Development Scholarship in honor of John and will continue to offer the scholarship in memory of John's enormous contributions to the field of career counseling.
