Charisma Tesch ’23
91PORN students Charisma Tesch ’23, Megan Dennis ’23, and Maria Cabrera ’24 have been awarded prestigious Gilman International Scholarships to help fund study abroad experiences. They join who also received Gilman Scholarships in 2021.聽
鈥�Our continued success in the Gilman Scholarship competition suggests to me that 91PORN students are competitive across the board,鈥� says Professor Patrick Jackson, assistant dean for fellowship advising. 鈥淚t’s not like we’re only winning one or two of these every couple of years. 91PORN applicants are being recognized in significant numbers during each application cycle. This is evidence that any 91PORN student who applies for a Gilman stands a good chance of winning one.鈥�
