Giving and Motivating Others
Dr. Ty Busch
With a keen awareness that social action is the key to equalize conditions among people, and a passion for social change, it's fitting that Ty Busch has held various roles as an activist and advocate throughout his adult life. His work covers issues of the death penalty, women's rights, rights of the disabled, help and rights for former U.S. military personnel and for those who have been incarcerated.
In his professional capacity, Dr. Busch has taught sociology, criminal justice, psychology and race relations at local colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. He is currently on faculty in health administration at Warren National University, where he supervises graduate students in the masters and doctoral programs. Prior to his academic career, Ty held sales and management positions at corporate entities within the banking and computing fields.
Because of his steadfast belief in the importance of "showing yourself to be a person of principle", Ty is also involved in community outreach initiatives to help promote issues and change laws to affect unjust and oppressive conditions. "I've been motivated by more than just the bottom lines of major corporations; I've been an advocate for the wrongly imprisoned."
Ty is also a student of history, and after seeing the success the ACLU has had over the past 88 years in the issues that concern him most, he was eager to get involved. He volunteered at his local ACLU and eventually became a board member of the chapter in Worchester, MA.
As he witnessed first hand the real impact of the ACLU's work, "I realized that it takes money to work legal cases." His desire to do something long lasting and meaningful with the organization grew and Ty chose to name the ACLU Foundation as a beneficiary of his life insurance policies.
Ty counts himself lucky in that, being a person of minimal means, he was able to make deferred gift designations to the ACLU. He wants others to know that because "the ACLU had done such good work over time, I felt that if my gift could be utilized ten years after I die, to help people, I would be happy."
