Congratulations to the 2008 Exemplary Scholar Award Winner!

I have to say, I was on the judging panel for this award and it was a great experience to witness. Each applicant took the time and dedication to apply and I want to recognize all of you as well.  Unfortunatly, there could only be one winner and Jin Lee from the University of Pennsylvania went above and beyond with everything. Congratualtions!

I also want to congratulate Katie Mize, because this would have been impossible without her and I believe that she did a great job in organizing everything that went into the exemplary scholar award
