I graduated with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Economics, as well graduated with departmental honors in business management, honors on my thesis, and was fortunate enough to receive the Schottland Business Leadership Award. The award is presented to a graduating senior who shows future promise in business leadership. I received $10,000 towards graduate work and $5,000 cash!!!
I begin work next week for Under Armour in the Sports Marketing Department. I will be working with all of the professional athletes and college teams we endorse.
I want to thank all of you for your support throughout the years, it has been greatly appreciated and valued.
The pictures attached are from the senior luncheon when I received the award and graduation (it's tradition at WC that after you receive your diploma, an underclassmen hands you a bottle of champagne :). More graduation photos to follow...

It was a wonderful weekend. We went to dinner Saturday night and a person we met at the restaurant said to Elise, "Oh, I know you. You're always on the Web site." Minutes later, another person said (I'm serious) "This is Elise. She's the one you always see on the Web site."
I was proud of how many people told me that Elise had a positive impact on his/her life.
Geesh Elise! You are amazing. I just read this aloud to Rich and he said "Let's have one of those." (As in you 'd be the perfect kid. And no, we're not pregnant yet. But we'd want one of you when we are. :-) ) Love you tons and Congratulations on your awesomeness!
I meant to add that I stood by the walkway where the graduates proceeded to their seats so I could get a pic of Elise. I couldn't find her! All of a sudden, she says, "Mom. Over here!" I didn't recognize my own daughter as she walked past! But I have a good excuse. Her hair was in french braid pig tails -- check out her photo at graduation. I was expecting a pony tail out the top of her cap!
Congratulations, Elise. I can't wait to see the ad that Kim produces for Under Armor featuring Elise and Michael Jordan. . .and Suzi, of course!
Huge congrats on a great college career, and that awesome business school award! Did you get to keep the champagne?
