The 2015 College of Humanities and Public Affairs Scholarship Dinner brought together donors and scholarship winners. In addition to the renewal of old friendships, we were especially honored to award two new scholarships in political science this year.
With a generous donation from MSU alumni Bob, Calvin, Steve and Cynthia (Holden) Hartman, we awarded the inaugural Lee and Wanda Holden Scholarship to Juli Baldridge. The Holden award was created to recognize students with a demonstrated potential for public service; emulating qualities instilled in the students of Professors David Heinlein and Alice Bartee.
Continuing a long history of support for the College and the department, we were pleased to award the first Robert (Tony) and Lynette Foster Scholarship in Political Science to Kaylee Trost.
In addition to these scholarships, Holly Harris was awarded the Curl Scholarship, EmmaLee Smothers was awarded the David Heinlein Scholarship, Audre Barrett was awarded the Frank Dinka Scholarship, Tyrel Floyd was awarded the Frank Mazzella Scholarship, Frederick Waife was awarded a Strong Family Graduate Scholarship, Matthew Carodza was awarded the Alice Bartee Scholarship, Jacob Hannah was awarded the Kant Patel Scholarship, and Ebony Gibbs was awarded the Olivia Bischler Scholarship.
We thank all of our generous supporters and congratulate all of our scholarship winners.
