On behalf of the Shirley Wilson Logan Diversity Scholarship Committee, I am pleased to share the names of this year’s recipients and to provide details about the FemRhet sessions that will feature them.
First, I want to express my sincere thanks to the committee, which included the following individuals: Christina Cedillo, Charlotte Hogg, Talisha Haltiwanger Morrison, Alexis Ramsey-Tobienne, and Dara Regaignon (Chair). This group had quite a few applications to review and, consequently, some very tough decisions to make!
Second, I invite anyone who will be at FemRhet to attend a special session featuring the scholarship recipients. The session will be chaired by CFSHRC Executive Board member Sherita Roundtree and will be held during Concurrent Session C on Sunday, October 1st at 2:30pm. Be sure to check the program for location and other information.
The recipients, along with the sessions they will be participating in (in addition to the special session with all awardees), are listed below. CONGRATULATIONS to you all!
