Beginning his first University classes this fall: Jean Francois Seide, the first student from Haiti to receive the University’s Molly Hightower Memorial Scholarship. Jean Francois grew up in the orphanage in Haiti where Molly and her dear friend Rachel Prusynski (left) worked before Molly died in the 2010 earthquake; Rachel and University donors have worked tirelessly to fund a full scholarship on The Bluff for students from the orphanage ever since. Jean Francois plans to study economics and social justice. For more on his remarkable journey, see www.friendsoftheorphans.org/jeanfrancois; for more on the University’s plethora of other creative momentous scholarships, see rise.up.edu; and to touch base with the wonderful (and now a new doctor) Rachel, try raprusy@gmail.com.
