“I am so grateful to have been selected as the recipient of this award,” Emilie stated. “It is incredible to attend a school that recognizes faith and ethics as a salient part of an education, and of life. Although I have worked hard over the course of my studies, my growth has not solely been the result of my own efforts – my professors have made a considerable contribution to my progress as a student. They have challenged me to apply my faith to all aspects of my life, and shown me that, even in a secular environment, God’s word is applicable. I will forever be thankful for how the Crandall business program has impacted me.”

Robert MacDonald, the University’s Stephen S. Steeves Professor in Business and member of the committee that selected Emilie for the award commented, “Emilie represents the best in what we seek to accomplish in Crandall’s BBA degree program, and it’s been a pleasure to see her grow as a student over the course of her studies.  In particular, we have been impressed with Emilie’s ability to articulate her faith in terms of its necessity in shaping decisions in business, and more generally, life.  This integration is something we strive for in our Business program, and thus we are very proud of her accomplishment.”
