"Opening Doors to Women's Success" was the theme for the event.
There were nine recipients this year, each receiving $1,000, and all coming from the Gainesville Campus. The women were chosen for their academic promise and demonstrating financial need and being a nontraditional students.
"This event is tremendously significant for two reasons: What we're able to raise in scholarship funds and it also presents the importance of women furthering themselves despite an inability to do so financially," Gabrielle Barr Lang, '83, chair of Women of 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, said.
Barbara DeMarco Williams, '73, a former member of the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Foundation Board of Trustees, served as the keynote speaker.
"It has been an honor to speak at this event today and address women of all age groups by showcasing the university and the scholarship recipients," DeMarco Williams said.
