Lis Regula, a ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï graduate, established the MJ Eckhouse Memorial Scholarship in memory of his late husband. MJ Eckhouse, a ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï alumnus, was a tireless advocate for the trans community, the LGBTQ+ community, and social justice issues. MJ challenged the status quo, questioned current practices, and always advocated for improvements to create a more inclusive world.

When MJ was a student at KSU, he was active on campus and in off-campus advocacy efforts, including those through Fusion magazine, as well as with ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï4Equality. MJ entered electoral politics as the manager of one of the first openly trans candidates to represent a major political party in Ohio. MJ did not just work with the university; he took the social justice work to the surrounding area and the state. MJ was vital in securing a non-discrimination ordinance and a ban on conversion therapy within the city of ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï. These actions will impact countless lives within the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï and Portage County communities.

MJ was also a talented musician and a recovering addict. He saw music as a way to connect with others and saw connection to others as the way to heal the hurt in others and the world. Throughout his recovery, MJ saved lives and changed lives for countless folks, his compassion and smile were as infectious as they were inspirational.
