Campus Welcomes New Presidentís Scholars

Ten of the region’s best-and-brightest graduating high school seniors entered Cal State Fullerton Aug. 23 as President’s Scholars – the most prestigious status the university accords to incoming students.

Established in 1979, the President’s Scholars program recognizes and attracts a distin-guished group of academically accomplished students.

In addition to the use of laptop computers, President’s Scholars receive a full scholar-ship that covers all student fees and a $750 stipend for textbooks up to four years, so long as they are enrolled full time, maintain a 3.5 grade-point average and contribute to university and community activities.

All scholars are granted automatic admission to the university Honors Program, priority registration, compli-mentary parking permits and consideration for on-campus
housing. They also have opportu-nities to attend special seminars and meet periodically with the university president.

Scholars are selected on the basis of superior academic and extracurricular achievement in high school.

This year’s incoming schol-ars and their majors are: Kerry DiMaggio, theatre arts; Gary Harris, business administration; Jolene Harris, mathematics; Deanne Huang, business admin-istration; Jessica Lenhof, human services; Luis Magallon, commu-nications; Silvica Rosca, business administration; Shannon Rossall, liberal studies; Sara Steiner, English; and Aaron Waites, busi-ness administration.
