Congratulations to Omolayo Ojo, Lauren Sutherland, and Rachel Nicole Shippee, Class of 2015, for being awarded the Lumen Prize.
The Lumen Prize is the university’s premier award that comes with a $15,000 scholarship to support and celebrate their academic achievements and research proposals.
Lumen Scholars will work closely with their mentors over the next two years to pursue and complete their projects. Efforts will include course work, study abroad, research both on campus and abroad as well as during the regular academic year and summers, internships locally and abroad, program development, and creative productions and performances.
Special congratulations go to Omolayo Ojo. Omo was named a recipient of a 2013-2014 David L. Boren Scholarship, which gives students financial backing to study the languages and cultures of Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Eurasia, and Central and Eastern Europe.
