The UCR Libraries Student Book Collection Competition was inaugurated in the academic year 2003-2004 in memory of Adam Repán Petko (1896-1995). Mr. Petko, an immigrant to this country in 1912, had a great and abiding interest in the literacy of his fellow immigrants, and in particular their young children, who had been denied a formal education in their native lands.
The competition is funded through the generosity of Dr. Edward C. Petko, Adam Repán Petko's son. |
