2016-2017 Josie Dugue’ Lain Scholarship Recipients: Paula-Marie Mensah & Nathan Morrison
My name is Paula-Marie Mensah. I am a senior Mechanical Engineering Major graduating in the spring of 2017. Being a recipient of the Josie Dugue’ Lain Scholarship for the 2nd year has been a huge blessing to my life and school career. It affords me the opportunities to not only receive financial assistance for my tuition but also mentorship with the Founders to better myself professionally and academically during my final year. I look forward to graduation and pursuing an MBA or Advanced Mechanical Engineering Degree. I am still very active on campus with the National Society of Black Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Honors Student Association and the Association for Women Students of which I serve as the President this school year.
