Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Business students were honored for their academic achievements at the 11th Annual School of Business Scholarships and Awards Program on Tuesday, April 21 in the Morris University Center.
Scholarships totaling $90,000 were awarded to 77 students pursuing degrees in accounting, business, computer management and information systems, economics and finance, and management and marketing.
“Today we celebrate the exceptional academic achievement of our undergraduate and graduate business students,” said John Navin, dean of the School of Business. “We also take this opportunity to show our appreciation to the donors.
“Scholarship gifts are remarkable investments in the future of SIUE business students. We do this so we can continue to attract and retain outstanding students by offering them the highest quality business education possible.”
Donors, SIUE administration, faculty and staff, parents and students were in attendance. Guest speaker Narbeth Emmanuel, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, called the luncheon a celebration of extraordinary individuals.
“Being extraordinary students calls for extraordinary efforts,” said Emmanuel. “My hope is that you will be difference makers. Understand who you are, what you believe in and what you care about. Let those inner values shape the kind of leader you’re going to become.”
