The Neag School of Education honored more than 100\u00a0of its students last night at its 22nd Annual Honors Celebration. The event, held at the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts on the UConn Storrs campus, brought together the student recipients of this year\u2019s Neag School-affiliated scholarships, their guests, and the donors whose contributions to the School make these crucial sources of financial support possible.<\/p>\n

Scholarship support comes from a wide range of individuals \u2013 including Neag School benefactors Ray and Carole Neag, as well as Neag School and UConn alumni; current University faculty and administrators; and families of former Neag School staff and alumni, among others.<\/p>\n

Pichette Scholarship Fund<\/a>, he met with members of the Pichette family, who established the fund in Valerie Pichette\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that they maybe will follow me in my career and see where I head so that they can see the potential that I\u2019ve reached,\u201d Organista said.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
