September, 2009 - Annual Scholarship Luncheon
The annual Campaign for Student Excellence Scholarship Luncheon celebrates benefactors and student scholarship recipients of the College. Students receiving scholarships and the donors who fund them have the opportunity to meet with each other, and students speak about the obstacles they have overcome to attend and succeed at college.
