Congratulations to Regina Newman, Kayla Alford, Kerron Elder, Jr, and Eryn Haynes on being selected as scholarship recipients by the School of Social Work! 

Regina Newman, received The Nancy and Leland E. Garrett Scholarship.

Currently, Regina works as an intern at the Duke Sickle Cell Clinic where many of her patients have comorbidities like renal failure and have scheduled dialysis.

Kayla Alford was awarded The Myatt-Peebles Scholarship. This scholarship was established by Dr. Wilma C. Peebles-Wilkins, an NC State alumna from the class of 1967. This award honors the memory of her parents and their descendants. Kayla, a graduating BSW student, is completing her internship at Haven House in the Youth Career Options program.
