Celebrating Excellence at the AAUW Edmonds SnoKIng Scholarship Awards Ceremony

from L to R: Truc nhi Truong, Lucia Garcia-Mendez, Camille Orego, Emma Guthrie, Brooklyn Nuttall (missing is Kristy Thien Ly Ho)

We gathered in early June to celebrate the bright futures of all our scholarship recipients!

We proudly awarded the Liz Sears STEM Scholarship and-for the first time ever-the Elena Cervantes Fine Arts Scholarship to outstanding high school seniors alongside our college level recipients from Edmonds College and WSU Everett.  This year, we heard from two incredible guest speakers:

Judy Avitia-Gonzalez, co-owner and co-director of Nepantla Cultural Arts Gallery, whose inspiring presentation of “Nepantla: The Story of a Rebel Chicano Art Gallery” shared the importance of art and how it uplifts people and communities.

Jacqueline Russell, Product Manager at Microsoft, motivated us with her talk “The Power of Self-Confidence: If You Think You Can, or Think You Can’t, You’re Right.”

Congratulations again to all our awardees and heartfelt thanks to our speakers and supporters!

PINK TEA WITH AAUW.  With about 90 attendees, our successful Pink Tea party showcased the importance of womens rights! 

 

Despite dealing with a torn meniscus in her knee, Debbie Dimitre gave a stellar performance as suffragette Alice Stokes Paul!

A full house!
