Kenneth R. Theobalds Scholarship

The 2023 recipient of the Kenneth R. Theobalds Scholarship is Shawn Ofurhie. Shawn is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Interactive Digital Media and Marketing.

Shawn’s goal after graduating CW is to become a mogul and establish generational wealth, while making a positive impact in the universe we all share. One thing CW has given Shawn is the opportunity to find that confidence inside him to be a leader no matter where he is. “Fear is a mighty companion, but you should be its master instead of letting it control you, so you can soar as high as the sky.”
