“The Phoebe Todd Harris & Anne Harris LaRew Alumni Scholarship means a lot to me. It mainly means opportunity. Every scholarship that I receive is an opportunity to better myself by furthering my education. My alumni scholarship not only help funds my education, but it puts me with a distinct group of other students that share some of the same interests as me. It also has opened up a lot of networking opportunities.”

Favorite class: My favorite class was my Comp II class mainly because of the instructor. His class was amazing and he has inspired me to further write.
