Scholarship Luncheon

This semester five of the cadets from our detachment were awarded the Minnesota Air Force Alumni Memorial Scholarship.  They were cadets Carlson, Carr, Kornhoff, Krapf, and Sarno.  On Wednesday 30 October the cadets along with Colonel Hoopes and Major Peterson attened the University of Minnesota Scholarship Luncheon held at the A.I. Johnson Great Room in the McNamara Alumni Center.  The semi-formal event was an opportunity for the scholarship benefactors to interact with the students who were awarded the scholarships and celebrate the students' achievements.

The luncheon started with an introduction my University President Eric Kaler's wife Karen Kaler followed by a wonderful turkey dinner style lunch.  Next there were remarks from the Phi Upsilon Omicron Scholarship winner Crystal Compton from the College of Design, the Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education Robert McMaster, and the Leslie Scholarship Benefactor Jim Leslie.  The event ended with a photo opportunity for students and benefactors as they enjoyed a dessert bar.

Congratulations to the five cadets who were awarded this scholarship!
