All Are Invited to Nov. 16 Scholarship Benefit Featuring Renowned Soloist Isola Jones
South Mountain Community College employees, plus friends of the college, have awarded scholarships to 10 students for the 2007-2008 academic year.
Receiving STARS I Scholarship Awards of $500 are: Kambriel Booth, Richard Brown, Melissa Cabezas, Gary Galvan, Adam Hill, Yoel Lopez, Tashauna Lynn, Emily Ollarsaba, Erick Stephens, and Luis Vaca. The STARS (Students Transformed to Achieve Radiant Success) campaign is ongoing.
“These scholarships go a long way toward helping deserving students,” according to Inez Moreno-Weinert, SMCC Director of Financial Aid. “Our employees have been very generous in their giving and they are pleased to see their contributions return to our SMCC students.”
She also thanked members of the Stars I 2007 Scholarship Awards Committee: Ruben Saenz, Rosa Pardo, Ann Scarborough, Dolly Aguirre, and Vanessa Brown.
The STARS campaign continues in November, when renowned Mezzo-Soprano Isola Jones -- who has starred with the Metropolitan Opera and is now a Voice Instructor at SMCC -- will be featured on Nov. 16 (Fri.). Brenda G. Hankins will accompany the soloist in this special concert to help fund scholarships for SMCC students. The benefit recital will take place at 7 p.m. in Performance Hall of the college, 7050 S. 24th St. (just north of Baseline Rd.).
Tickets are $20 general and $10 for students, and will be available for purchase online at www.showup.com. For more information: 602.243.8353.
