SIUE Business Students Honored For Their Accomplishments

(EDWARDSVILLE, Ill.) The School of Business recently honored more than 50 students for academic excellence and leadership at the School’s Annual Scholarship and Awards Program.

“The School of Business is fortunate to have the support of individuals, corporations, and organizations that provide annual or endowed scholarships assisting deserving students," said Judy Woodruff, director of development for the School. “The Scholarship and Awards Program is a way to recognize outstanding students, to thank scholarship sponsors for their generosity, and to introduce them to the student receiving their scholarship.”

The keynote speaker for the event was Eric Levin, director of finance for the Integrated Logistics Division within the Global Services and Support area at The Boeing Company in St. Louis. Danielle Martin of Farmersville, who won the American Marketing Association Scholarship, made remarks from a student’s perspective.
