1st Quarter, 2006
StraightForward Media is proud to announce that the winner of our
1st Quarter, 2006, Mesothelioma Memorial Scholarship is Samaneh
Pourjalali of Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California.
She is a double-major in psychology and philosophy.
"I am very active at Mt. Sac in volunteer work and leadership
roles while maintaining a very high GPA. As the President of Phi
Theta Kappa, last year I initiated the first "Adopt a Scholar"
program at our school to match up honors students, with financial
difficulty, and professors who were willing to help pay the admission
fee to join this International Honors Society. One of my greatest
achievements was a campus wide event "Can Science and Religion
Reconcile?", with the purpose of creating a union between all
variations of opinion. The event brought about a record breaking
570 people, and another 100 were turned away. I intend to become
a professor so that I may change the world with the power of knowledge
and ideas."
