25th Annual  Scholarship Program
"How FAR We've Come!"
​May 18, 2015
Hosted at Justin's Tuscan Grill

On May 18, 2015 the Greater Syracuse Area Section celebrated a milestone with its 25th Annual Scholarship Program hosted at Justin's Tuscan Grill. The theme for the night was "How FAR We've Come!" Our keynote speaker was Patricia Cerro-Reehil, Executive Director of the New York Water Association (NYWEA), who provided great insights on working in a male-dominated field. 

We were joined by former Section Presidents, Rebecca Thyne and Krisin Angello, SU's current Collegiate Counselor, Joan Dannenhoffer, as well as many of the Section's founding members. Rebecca, Kristin, and Joan each gave inspiring speeches that highlighted just how far the program has come and how SWE has impacted their lives for the better. 

We reviewed just how much the scholarship program has grown since its conception. For example, in 2001 the Section awarded five scholarship valued at $1,000 each. This 2015 year marked a milestone for sponsorship and we were able to award seven scholarships at $2,250 each!

A special thank you to our corporate and individual sponsors for 2015!
