Though the official press release went out a few weeks ago, I am still feeling very honored to receive the Fort Hays State University 2022 Young Alumni Award!
I would like to congratulate the others who have been granted this notability in the past; I am grateful to be included as a creative, inspiring, and hardworking leader. To have even been nominated by Vincent Bowhay, was humbling, let alone being selected!
The Young Alumni Award was designed to recognize graduates early in their careers who have had outstanding achievements and recent accomplishments. The award is based on professional and educational achievements, community activities, honors and awards received, and other noteworthy items of merit. I will be returning to my alma mater in Hays, KS on October 6, 7, & 8 to receive this accolade, speak to the art & design students, and reminisce with my mom who will be joining me as my guest of honor :)
Thank you to the alumni association, sponsors, hosts, volunteers, and everyone that has helped put this event together to acknowledge me.
I feel so privileged and will remember this always.
