Alumni Association welcomes 2014-15 scholarship recipients

The 2014-15 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association scholarship recipients were feted at the Bailey Alumni Center over the summer and given the opportunity to mingle with some of the namesake donors who聽helped make their individual scholarships possible. 鈥淥ur scholarships provide the cornerstone of the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association, enabling us to attract and retain outstanding students,鈥� said Christian O鈥橬eal, associate vice chancellor for alumni and development. 鈥淗osting an event for the scholarship recipients to thank their donors in person is the best way we know to show appreciation for those who have invested in these students and our university,鈥� he said. Each recipient wrote a scholarship essay reflecting the difference they hope to make as a result of completing a degree at 糖心Vlog传媒LR. Skylar Whitaker, a senior sociology major and recipient of the Alfred L. Williams Endowed Alumni Scholarship, hopes to eventually mentor college students who may be troubled, depressed, or contemplating suicide. During the event earlier this summer, Whitaker was able to visit with Williams and thank him in person for the scholarship, which was established by his wife, Elaine Eubank, in his honor. Eubank also has an endowed scholarship named in her honor. 鈥淢y goal is to create an altogether happier, friendlier community where students feel that whenever they need a helping hand, one is available,鈥� Whitaker said. Students may apply for the alumni scholarship online. For additional information, call 501.683.7208. The newest scholars include: 鈥� Micah Moore, Owen W. Parker Sr. and Merrily Parker Endowed Scholarship 鈥� Kristyn Scott, Alumni Merit Scholarship 鈥� Taurine Main, Elaine Eubank Endowed Scholarship 鈥� Robyn Oglesby, Owen W.
