The Professional Employees Association is pleased to announce the 2009-10 PEA Scholaship Recipients.

 Katherine McConkie

I have worked as the Assistant Director for the MBA program since December 2006 and have worked at USU since 1990, serving in several other departments:  Staff Assistant in Continuing Education, Business Officer in International Programs, and Grant Specialist for the Center for Integrated BioSystems.  While working full-time at USU and raising a family, I graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in LIberal Arts and Sciences and a minor in Human Resourse Management.  My husband, Carl, and I, reside in Smithfield and have three sons, one of whom is married and has three daughters.

Thank you to all PEA members for their generous contributions which make scholarships such as these possible.  I’m very humbled by the scholarship award and appreciate it very much.  I’m very excited to be returning to school this fall to work on a graduate degree in instructional technology; it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for many years.  I’m looking forward to utilizing what I learn to improve the MBA program for our Huntsman graduate students.  I’m very fortunate to have a job where I can contribute, on a daily basis, to improving the lives of others.  Thanks again!  Kathy McConkie 

Katie Marin

Thank you very much for selecting me as a recipient of the PEA scholarship. I am honored to accept. This will be a big help towards completing my degree. My masters will be fundamental in pursuing my career objectives and I hope to use this learning to create programs that benefit my community. Thank you for this honor, Katie Marin

 

 

 

April Barker Jensen

I have been working at USU Since 1998 in the office of University Advancement.  I have been working on my master's degree in Human Resource part-time while working and will be finished in December. 

I’d just like to thank the PEA Scholarship Committee and the donors to this scholarship for making it possible for me to finish my education.  It’s such a great honor to be awarded this scholarship and I can’t thank those who made it possible enough.

 

 

 

 

Danielle Baum

Dear PEA Members,  I'm thrilled to be chosen as a recipient of the PEA scholarship award this year! As the daughter of USU Alumni and employees, I essentially grew up on campus and I'm excited to continue my education here.  I plan to use this award to further pursue my dual major in Political Science and Sociology, with hopes to attend Grad School in the next couple of years and eventually use my degrees to do something thoroughly profound for the world.  This award will help alleviate the financial strain placed on my family by putting three children through school all at once. My family and I thank you all for your support! Cordially Yours, Danielle Baum 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Ryan Beckstead
 
 My name is Ryan Beckstead and I am a junior majoring in Management Information Systems.  I work at the Information Technology Service Desk and love Utah State.  To tell you a little about myself, I am happily married with a little boy and a little girl on the way.  In my free time, I love being with my family and anything to do with the outdoors.  I love, camping, fishing, hunting, geocaching, four wheeling, and watching Nascar races. I want to personally thank the PEA committee for awarding me this scholarship.  With one child and another coming the first part of September, finances are tight and this scholarship will help me achieve my goal of receiving my degree.  My wife is an Aggie Alumnus and is excited for me to join her as one when I graduate.  Thank you for selecting me as a recipient.
