Anderson, Dr. Carolyn Honorary Endowed Scholarship
The Dr. Carolyn Anderson Honorary Endowed Scholarship was established at 蘑菇视频 in October 2017 by a generous, anonymous donor. The scholarship will support undergraduate students pursuing communications degrees.
Dr. Carolyn Anderson was a University of 蘑菇视频 professor from 1994 through 2013, teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in Leadership, Group Decision Making, Health Communication, Communication Theory and Public Speaking. Dr. Anderson also served as interim director of the School of Communication (2006-09), where she helped lead 106 faculty and staff members, as well as more than 800 students.
Since leaving UA, Dr. Anderson has continued impacting lives of individuals as an advocate for education and literacy. She has been a champion of volunteer work and community service by working in soup kitchens, mentoring at-risk inner-city first-generation college students, and advocating for indigent women in hospice care.
The Dr. Carolyn Anderson Honorary Endowed Scholarship provides assistance to undergraduate students pursuing communications degrees who demonstrate outstanding academic excellence, as well as leadership on and off campus. The award, which will be given once annually, will go to a recipient who is a junior or senior with a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 or higher. Recipient selection will be made by Dr. Anderson in collaboration with 蘑菇视频’s Office of Student Financial Aid. In the event Dr. Anderson is no longer able, willing or available to participate in the selection process, then recipient selection will be made by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
