MMC STUDENT AWARDED<br />

PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARSHIP<br />

Emily Garcia ’17 has been awarded the Benjamin A. Gilman<br />

International Scholarship by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau<br />

of Educational and Cultural Affairs.<br />

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program offers<br />

grants for undergraduate students to pursue academic studies<br />

or credit-bearing, career-oriented internships abroad. Such<br />

international exchange is intended to better prepare U.S. students<br />

to assume significant roles in an increasingly global economy and<br />

interdependent world.<br />

Emily, a Brooklyn native and <strong>2014</strong> Watson Fellow, is pursuing a double major in<br />

International Studies and Business Management at MMC. She participates in the<br />

Emerging Leaders Program and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, and is<br />

on the Dean’s List. With the help of the Gilman Scholarship, she is spending the spring<br />

2016 semester in Thailand, working with women and children.<br />
