Scholarship Banquet

The Marketing and Engagement Committee of the College of Business (COB) held its Annual COB Scholarship Banquet on Thursday, April 22nd. Because of COVID, a new format was tried this year and the event was conducted via Zoom because of the value the college places on having this event each year. Donors, scholarship recipients (past and present) of COB scholarship accounts, faculty and staff were invited. The purpose of the event was to give the opportunity for the scholarship recipients to personally thank the donors. The event included a number of videos from students who could not attend thanking the donors for their respective scholarships. Performances were given by the Dallas Black Dance Theatre and the University Chorale, and remarks were delivered by COB Dean, Dr. Mario Hayek, and the Vice President of Philanthropy and Engagement, Ms. Keturi DeLong along with several faculty members. The event also gave donors the opportunity to ask the students in attendance questions in order to get to know more about the students. The banquet was a huge success and the Marketing and Engagement Committee along with the COB look forward to conducting the annual event in person in 2022!
