Mays student receives top awards
Rachel Keathley ’18 has been selected as a Gates-Muller awardee and a Fulbright Scholar. She graduated last week as a Business Honors and management major with minors in economics and Spanish and a certificate in international business. Next stop: Mexico.
Nominate undergraduate professors
Poets & Quants for Undergrads is seeking 150-word nominations for the best undergraduate business professors. The deadline is June 1 for nominations from students, faculty (including self nominations), and administrators. The 40 finalists will be published in an upcoming issue of hte magazine, which is increasingly becoming a source for undergraduate and graduate students to learn about universities.
Honoring Marty Loudder
A reception to honor Marty Loudder for her service will be 3-4 p.m. today (May 14) in the Cocanougher Center (183 Wehner). Her impact is felt through Mays, where she integrated the use of portfolios and self-reflections. In her honor, 27 graduating seniors who have utilized these methods were celebrated last week as Loudder Medal of Excellence recipients.
