Congratulations to Rebecca Acabchuk of UConn’s Women in Math, Science & Engineering. Acabchuk has been awarded one of the three 100 Years of Women Scholarship Awards for the 2014-2015 academic year in recognition of her “outstanding academic achievements, dedicated service, and significant contributions to the advancement of women in society.” (UConn Women’s Center)
“The 100 Years of Women Scholarship fund was established in 1992 to honor a current UConn student or high school senior planning to enroll at UConn who, as a role model and advocate, has advanced the status and contributions of women in society.” (UConn Women’s Center)
Additionally, Acabchuk will be receiving a graduate Student Life Award later this month.
First Year Programs & Learning Communities is currently in 4th place for the 2014 UConn Ignite competition. With the last leg of the competition upon us, FYP&LC is offering a pizza party to the learning community with the highest percentage of donors (weighted by LC size) by the end of the competition. Please remember that it is the quantity of donations that counts, not the individual amount. A donation of $5 is all that is required to contribute and help FYP&LC secure their spot among the top causes.
To donate follow this link and mention your LC in the section that says “In honor/support of..[Your LC]”
