achievements and humanitarian work.
The $2,500 scholarship was designed to promote and encourage advancement
in the practice of human resources management and to develop strategic
leaders who are pursuing studies in the field.
“Mykelle demonstrates an exceptionally deep commitment to her education

“Her history of servant leadership, diversity championing and academic
success made her the perfect choice for this year’s Walter Vaughn
