2012 World Citizen Award Dinner

Part of the Council Scholar Award was the opportunity to attend the World Citizen Award Dinner.  This is an annual, black-tie event that honors those who have done amazing things that affect the world.  This year, Sandra and Leon Levine were honored for their philanthropic efforts.

We listened to wonderful presentations about the Levine's.  We heard the history of Family Dollar and the success of their humanitarian projects, such as the Levine Children's Hospital.

Council Scholar Award

I would first like to thank the World Affairs Council of Charlotte.   In early 2012, I discovered that I had been given the Council Scholar Award along with five other individuals.

This award enabled me to begin my dream of traveling for my career.   Because of this program, I will be attending two international conferences.  The first is the Creative Engagements conference in Oxford, England.  The second is the International Conference on Education (ICE) in Samos, Greece. I hope to create partnerships with educational professionals from around the world.

I would also like to thank those who support the Council Scholar Award:

• Wells Fargo
• BAE Systems
• Presbyterian Healthcare
• Carolina Healthcare System
• The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC)
