2022 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS.

After much deliberation on the part of the Pi Gamma Mu Awards Committee, the committee's chairperson recommended 7 scholarship recipients and 1 alternate to the Board of Trustees in 2022. The Trustees awarded scholarships to the following lifetime members of Pi Gamma Mu:

Rebecca Colbert received the $2,000 Carroll Parish Scholarship. Rebecca was inducted into Pi Gamma Mu at the Indiana Theta Chapter at Manchester University. Dr. Timothy McKennaBuchanan is the faculty sponsor of the chapter.

Rebecca (Becca) intentionally spent time at Manchester University exploring options for a major. History, secondary education, and educational studies were each experienced during this journey.

Realizing her true passions, Becca chose educational studies as the major needed to set forward motion toward realizing her passions. She will continue her studies in graduate school at Ball State University to study Applied Behavioral Analysis. She knew her place was serving others and that children and young adults intrigued her. Becca is deeply invested in scholarship and thinking critically about topics in education, particularly topics beyond the classroom. Becca hopes to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to continue advocating for people with autism.

Jacqueline Curry received the $2,000 Effie B. Urquhart Scholarship. Jacqueline was inducted into Pi Gamma Mu at the Pennsylvania Mu Chapter at Franklin & Marshall College. Alan S. Glazer is the sponsor of the chapter.

Jacqueline graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in 2020 with a double major in Government and Spanish. She spent the next two years working in IT and teaching while saving money for graduate school. She currently attends Roger Williams University, studying for her master's degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling and her clinical license. She hopes to use this degree to work in a child advocacy center and provide forensic interviews and counseling to victims of abuse. Jacqueline thanks Pi Gamma Mu for the generosity and credits the scholarship with allowing her to take this necessary step in pursuing a career in which she can give back and make a child's hardest times just a little bit easier.

Allison Stein received the $2,000 Marvel Stockwell Scholarship. Allison was inducted into Pi Gamma Mu at the Pennsylvania Alpha Rho Chapter at Immaculata University. Dr. Joshua Weikert is the faculty sponsor of the chapter.
