scholarhip luncheon
makes education possible.
Before his retirement, Hahn, an attorney, was a successful businessman in the aviation field. As an undergraduate, he was given a full scholarship. “As a result,” Hahn said, “I always felt I had to give back.” Besides Bruhn, alumni Raffi Svadjian and Winnie Chan, both recipients of the Hahn scholarship when students, also attended the event. Paul Vasquez, a Hahn scholarship recipient who graduated this May, was also on hand. These “Hahn scholars” unveiled a plaque honoring Hahn in the school’s Centennial Park. During the luncheon, Dean Vanderveen introduced pharmacy student Emmanuel Akinwole, who was surprised to learn that he had been selected to receive the Hahn scholarship for the upcoming academic year. This scholarship will cover Akinwole’s full tuition.
Dean Vanderveen announced the following
new scholarships at the event:
