Scholarship Day

Today was the first of two scholarship competition days for high school seniors who have been accepted to Wilmington College. This competition includes several group activities, two essay writings and a group interview session. As WC Scholars, I and a few friends were invited to help with scholarship day. We reported bright and early at 8:30 on Saturday morning to meet and greet the competitors. We received a yummy breakfast of pastries and coffee and orange juice, mingling with future students discussing hometowns, expectations and reassuring them that no one would bite ;) We returned for lunch, a delicious meal of salad, chicken, mashed potatoes and breadsticks. I was at a table with possible future Political Science majors. I was joined by the fabulous Professor Mary Ellen Batiuk of the Poly Sci Department. Luckily for me, my group was not quiet, so I had an excellent discussion about all the great opportunities here at WC. Hopefully I’ll see some of them next year!
