For Tony and Louise Herber, being educators was not just a profession, but a noble
calling. So it comes as no surprise that they wanted to do something to help Seton
Hall students become successful educators and citizens who make a positive impact
on society.
After Tony graduated from Seton Hall, he received a job offer from the school where
he did his student teaching. The next year, Louise was doing her student teaching
at the same school. She did not have a car, so a fellow teacher arranged for Tony
to give her a ride. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Both Tony and Louise went on to teach for their entire careers (more than 30 years)
in the Woodbridge School District — he as a middle school Social Studies teacher and
she as a middle school English teacher.
"I have a deep appreciation for what Seton Hall has done for me," Tony says. "It enabled
me to launch a rewarding career and enjoy a very fulfilling life." Both Tony and Louise
estimate that through their teaching they have touched the lives of thousands of students.
In appreciation for his Seton Hall experience and with a firm belief in the values
instilled by a Catholic education, Tony and Louise included a provision in their wills
to fund an endowed scholarship for students in the College of Education and Human
Services. "I want to help someone else achieve what I did," Tony continued. "Seton
Hall gave me a quality education. That education gave me opportunities that changed
the trajectory of my life."
